"Every kid should get the chance to explore the world on two wheels. This is a story to inspire the next generation of mountain bikers." - David Wiens, Executive Director, International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA)
A must-read story for families seeking epic fresh air adventure.
"Today is the perfect day for a mountain bike ride," Ryan tells her beloved labrador, Charlie. Ryan is a courageous young girl who loves weaving through trees, climbing over rocks, and zooming down hills on her bicycle. But before she can hit the trails with her Mommy and Daddy, Ryan's body needs fuel, her tires need air, and Charlie needs a belly rub.
Soon, she's fully immersed in the sights and sounds of the surrounding forest. Leaves crunch, birds chirp, and mud splish-splashes against her sweaty skin. On her mountain bike, Ryan feels free! But it's not all smooth sailing. Steep hills challenge her endurance, and when Ryan takes a rough tumble, her resilience is put to the test.
As Ryan discovers that the view is always worth the climb, this sweet outdoor adventure narrative celebrates the pure magic that happens on two wheels.
At the end of the book, readers can find the recipe for Ryan's wholesome and delicious pre-ride breakfast along with A Family Guide to Keeping Kids Safe While Mountain Biking!
