Pedal Power is designed to introduce elementary school girls (ages 5 -12) to mountain biking in a fun, comfortable, and supportive environment. Pedal Power is a FREE program that's based on a mentorship model led by female riders including youth riders from the New River Valley Composite and Blacksburg High School race teams.
The first Pedal Power event was held on April 9, 2022 at Nellie's Cave Park in Blacksburg from 10:00 - noon. The event included helmet checks, bike checks, cycling safety, and an introduction to basic mountain biking skills. Pedal Power is ready to take to the trails! Please join us on
