PEA RIDGE, Ark. (AP) — Trailblazers is bringing its 2025 Adult First Ride Series to Pea Ridge, offering adults an opportunity to learn or rediscover the joy of cycling. The four-part series, designed for participants aged 14 to 99, provides expert instruction and hands-on support to help riders build confidence and master essential cycling skills.
The program covers fundamental techniques, including balancing, pedaling, braking, shifting, turning, and safety. The final session introduces gravel riding techniques, a fitting addition given Pea Ridge’s accessible dirt and gravel roads. Classes will be led by Trailblazers instructors and trained volunteers, ensuring a safe and supportive learning environment.
Bikes and helmets will be provided for participants throughout the course, and those who complete all four sessions will receive a refurbished, gravel-ready bike courtesy of Pedal It Forward.
The first three classes will take place at Pea Ridge High School on April 3, April 10, and April 17, with the final class scheduled for Baker Hayes on April 24. All sessions will run from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Space is limited, and registration is now open at AFRPeaRidge.eventbrite.com. For additional information or questions about the Adult First Ride classes in Pea Ridge, interested individuals can contact Gabriela at Gabriela@WeAreTrailblazers.org.
Trailblazers aims to inspire a love of cycling and outdoor exploration within the vibrant Pea Ridge community.
