We snow ski, kayak, water ski, mountain bike, fish, golf, and create events to unite veterans. Answering the U.S. Surgeon General's call to connection - we know sports, outdoor recreation, and adventure therapy change lives.

Through our Power of Ability campaign, we are determined to expand our veteran outreach state-wide and nationally. Focused on collaborating with other organizations, we are developing innovative outdoor experiences designed to bring hope, healing, and health - as we honor veterans' sacrifices, service, and strength.

Adaptive Mountain Biking

 

Work with ASC volunteers to be fitted on an adaptive mountain bike and learn the basics of mountain biking in conjunction with Central Ohio Mountain Biking Organization (COMBO). This clinic will take place at the Alum Creek Phase 1 Mountain Bike trail. This is a basic beginner trail, ideal for learning. Clinics take place from May-October. Many styles of adaptive bikes are available including recumbent, 3-wheeled, and hand powered.

Interested to volunteers instead? Standard mountain bikes are available for volunteers to use, or you may bring your own. Basic mountain biking knowledge is helpful but not needed.
