**STORM Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day (TKMBD) and Texas NICA Try-It-Out Event**

South Texas Off-Road Mountain Bikers (STORM) and Texas NICA Try-It-Out hosts this free annual youth mountain biking event on the dirt trails at McAllister Park.

This is an excellent opportunity for parents and children to get out on the dirt trails and see how fun mountain biking can be. During this trail riding introduction, kids will learn basic trail skills and trail etiquette. Participants will meet at the McAllister Park practice fields parking lot at Pvalion 5 near the bike skills course and pump track (https://maps.app.goo.gl/Mjtvg8Pjg3zgLcvR8), and the event will last from 9:00am-12:00pm.

Parents and community members are encouraged to attend, meet our dedicated NICA students and coaches, and explore opportunities to get involved as coaches or supporters. It’s a day of fun, community, and discovering the joy of mountain biking. No trail riding experience? No problem. Everyone is welcome!
