Leadership, Independence, Stoke
Through longer rides, collaborative planning, playful challenges, and real-world problem-solving, Pathfinders build independence, self-awareness, and leadership on and off the bike. As riders grow more capable and self-directed, they experience the joy and empowerment that comes from trusting their abilities, contributing to the group, and moving confidently through their community.
Program Overview
Our Pathfinders are our most confident riders, ready to adventure farther and explore deeper along Durango’s scenic Animas River Trail and beyond. Each day brings new routes, challenges, and opportunities to practice safe riding, navigation, and group awareness throughout our community. Pathfinders begin to develop more autonomy and independence as they become empowered to design and collaborate about routes, field trips, and bike challenges!
Ride Distance: 5-10 miles
