Making A Difference
Supporting Youth Cycling
The Big Ole Bike Club supports the Central Lakes Trail, Kensington Rune Stone Park, Brophy Park and Barsness Park Glenwood single-track trail development. In 2016, the Alexandria Area Youth Cycling Mountaineer's Mountain Bike team was started with many club members involved in coaching the initial 8 riders. Our goal to get more kids on bikes continues as our 7th year consisted of 50 riders and 25 coaches.
