October 5 is national Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day, so get out there with your kids, or take someone else's kids (with their permission of course) and get out and ride our trails.

From Bike the North Country: There's a fantastic pump track in Littleton at PRKR MTN for beginners, or anyone trying to improve their skills, and all three networks (Franconia, Littleton and Bethlehem) have trails for all skill levels.

And if you need to borrow a bike and helmet, check out the Bethlehem Gear Library. Just get the kids out there riding on October 5!
