About this Event
Join the Fresh Park Alliance and the Staten Island Trail Riders for a suicide prevention month ride at North Park Phase 1. A portion of proceeds will support mental health organizations on Staten Island.
After the introduction, NYCMTB instructors will take you behind the scenes to ride areas that are currently closed to the public. On this ride we will explore via mountain bike the woods, wetlands, and grasslands at Freshkills Park.
Please, note all riders must provide their own mountain bike and helmet for this program. Helmets are required to enter and ride NYC Parks and DSNY property.
Donation: This bike class and tour is donation-based and we suggest a $20 donation per participant.
Accessibility: This ride will be approximitely 1 miles. The roads and trails themselves can be uneven at times. If you have any accessibility needs, please let us know in advance so we can best accommodate you.

All participants will be asked to sign an activity waiver before entering the park. Those under 18 need to have the waiver signed by a parent or guardian and be accompanied by an adult.
