Imagine having kids and not knowing how to teach them this supposedly innate skill. Imagine living in this valley, connected with bike trails of all kinds, and not having the opportunity to enjoy them whether for recreation or commuting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">That is what makes the Community Pedaleando \u2014 Aspen Valley Ski &amp; Snowboard Club and Valley Settlement\u2019s celebration of cycling, health and sustainability \u2014 so special. The Community Pedaleando aims to bring families throughout the Roaring Fork Valley together to kick off summer and learn more about the biking resources that exist in our community.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Regardless of your age or skill level, we hope you\u2019ll join us Sunday, June 9, at North Face Park in Carbondale from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. to celebrate the start of biking season. There will be an easy out-and-back group ride on the bike path (6 miles total with the option to turn around at any time) for all ages, with snacks and water along the route.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">We will have plenty of bikes available to borrow for riders ages 7 and older. WeCycle will run learn-to-ride clinics for adults, and we\u2019ll set up a fun obstacle course to test your skills. There will be music and all attendees will get a free lunch to enjoy together in the park.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Some lucky riders will take home bikes of their own: Way of Compassion will be giving away refurbished bikes and Basalt Bike &amp; Ski will raffle off one brand new bike. Aloha Mountain Cyclery will be on hand to give your bikes a tune up for the upcoming season. Aspen Valley Hospital will be there to help educate riders on bike safety and give away helmets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">While AVSC\u2019s mission is to provide all youth in the Roaring Fork Valley the opportunity to excel as athletes and as people through winter sports, we\u2019re focused on increasing recreation and access to the mountains year-round for local youth. Beyond the Community Pedaleando, we offer youth bike programs all summer. These programs range from intro to biking clinics (now in their third summer) to an advanced mountain biking team. Our free clinics are held in June and July throughout the valley. Bikes and helmets are available if needed; athletes will learn basic technique, maintenance and etiquette. Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.teamavsc.org\/summer\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.teamavsc.org\/summer<\/a> to learn more!<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">We are grateful to our partners for their generosity and shared vision in helping us get more families, and especially kids, on bikes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">After all, what is more RAD than biking?<\/p>\n<p><em>Clubhouse Chronicles is a behind-the-scenes column written by the Aspen Valley Ski and Snowboard Club.
