Friday Afternoon Activities Program Mountain Biking The sport of mountain biking calls for a wide variety of skills such as agility, balance, and focus. It requires both upper and lower body strength and cardiovascular fitness. It also demands a strong mind, as well as critical-thinking and decision-making skills. It develops an ethic of self-discipline and self-care. Cycling is a life long sport. Due to the relatively low impact cycling has on joints, one can look forward to a lifetime of riding bicycles. How many high school football or soccer players still put on their cleats later in life and play the game? More often, they enjoy their former sport from the comfort of the sofa. Cycling can be a life-long passion. All one needs is a bike and the desire to ride. Students can bring their own equipment if preferred. Equipment will be provided.
