What is Take a Kid Mountain Biking day?
IMBA will celebrate its fifth annual International Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day on Saturday, October 4, 2008. This is a great opportunity for you to pass your passion for pedaling on to kids! IMBA's International Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day celebrates the life of Jack Doub, an avid teenage mountain biker from North Carolina who had a true passion for the sport from an early age but passed away in 2002. The event will take place each year on the first Saturday in October every year.
