What level of experience do riders need to take part in the program?
The program is aimed at kids in Years 4 to 5 who have experience riding on 2 wheeled bikes without the aid of training wheels and have the ability to ride for extended periods of time (an hour).
If you have a child in Year 3 who is an enthusiastic and capable rider please let us know and we will happily include them in the program.
Please let us know if you have a child in the junior school who is beginning to learn how to ride a bike or wants to learn as we would love to run a junior program if there is enough interest.
I am a confident rider should I join the program?
Absolutely! Our educated and qualified instructors are experts in designing open-ended riding challenges that offer multiple entry points and challenges for riders of different abilities.
We have even had high school students take part in our primary school programs who have loved the opportunity to develop and build their leadership skills while having a great time improving their own riding skills.
What are the group sizes?
The Reconnect Riders programs have limited spaces available. Not just to comply with industry standards and safety, but also to enhance the experience of each individual rider.
Smaller numbers enhance the enjoyment and learning experience of each rider. This is important it will help instructors know each rider and can provide them with one on one advice and challenges during the program.
Safety:
All staff are experienced educators (teachers) and qualified instructors, with first aid training and current working with children checks. First aid kits and communication devices are carried by staff at all times.
