Guys and gals eight years old and up are welcome to celebrate Sprockids Park with trail maintenance in the morning, a lunch, guided rides, prizes and a jump jam in the afternoon, this Saturday, April 2.
Students at Capilano Uni-versity have created this special community event at Sprockids Park in Gibsons. There is no pre-registration required, just show up between 9:15 and 10 a.m. and be ready for a day of community passion and riding.
Following registration, participants will head out in crews to do general maintenance on nearby trails starting at 10 a.m. A lunch break is set for 11:30 a.m. followed by skills clinics and guided rides at 12:15 p.m., prizes at 2 p.m. and a jump jam featuring advanced riders starting at 2:15 p.m.
MBO students have been trained in sustainable design and will pass on their valuable knowledge to the participants. After lunch participants will have the chance to learn new skills or hone their existing skills with the MBO students. Guided rides will also be offered for those who just want to experience the splendour of Sprockids Park trails. During the jump jam, MBO students and community members will have a chance to showcase their skills.
