Trips for Kids San Antonio Book A Ride

Mountain Biking to encourage Health, and develop Confident Kids!

Trips for Kids San Antonio is a non-profit organization providing daylong mountain bike outings for under served children, ages 10 to 15. We incorporate bike skills, environmental awareness and FUN into all of our trips. We ride on “real” dirt mountain bike trails that are appropriate for novice mountain bikers. On every ride, safety is of utmost importance. Our ride leaders are trained in first aid/CPR and are experienced mountain bikers.

The spring ride season begins first part of April . Our fee is $25 per group, we provide bikes for as many as five participants. In addition, we provide ride leaders, helmets, gloves, a snack and water bottles for everyone. Although most of the youth that we work with have never been mountain biking, they need to know how to ride a bike. We ride at McAllister park on Saturday mornings at 10:30.

How Can I make this happen?

• Call to arrange a date. We are offering rides beginning April 11th.
• Send a check for your ride to reserve your trip date.
• Recruit five young people who might want to try mountain biking.
• Give participants release forms (link at right) to be filled out and then signed by a parent. The child cannot participate unless the completed, signed form is given to us on the day of the ride. We will also need written instructions regarding how to use any medications that may need to be administered during the ride.
• Arrange for one or more adults from the agency to drive the youth to the trailhead and supervise. We’ll meet your group at the trail with bikes, safety equipment and ride volunteers.
• Call or email one week prior to the trip with the first name and heights of all participants who need a bike.
• Come ready to ride with lunches and release forms!
