Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day

What a great day and a great group of kids we had for the national Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day! Some of the kids and parents had never been on a dirt trails before and everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves. They had a safety inspection for their bikes, free helmets and fittings, did an obstacle course, ran a radar speed race, trail rides, a great lunch and was then presented a participation metal for completing everything.

I want to thank the volunteers and especially thank the DeLand Police Dept. and all their volunteer for the great work they did with the course, speed race, escort to trailhead and lunch! Also want to thank all the vendors that donated the goodies for the kids and to Specialized Bikes & Clif Bars for their nation wide sponsorship. Look for the next take a kid day to happen in October.

FABS Helps Camp Boggy Creek

With the help of the Florida Bicycle Association and The Bicycle Doctor of Bunnell, we were able to donate these 6 Trek bikes to Camp Boggy Creek. This camp is for children with serious illnesses and their families to reach beyond their illness ...and discover joy, confidence and a new world of possibilities and is always free of charge. They were extremely gracious and very happy to receive the bikes to be used in the camp and then gave us a terrific tour of their facility. It is just amazing what they do there! Go to www.boggycreek.org and see how you can help them too.

Giving Back!!!

Our club presented a check to the Flagler County Board of Commissioners that symbolized the volunteer hours saved at Mala Compra Green Way Trail in the County. We were able to save the county $13,248.00 in one year of the signing of our Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
