Course Information
Why should adults get to have all the pedal-powered fun at the Whiskey Off-Road? The Shimano Kids’ Fun Ride features two different courses on Sunday morning, perfect for kids of all ages and skill levels. For many kids, this will be their first shot at the Whiskey, and most definitely not their last.
Each course will have volunteers, arrows and pin flags (Triple Shot only) directing riders along the route. The course will be on closed streets and open bike paths away from traffic. All courses must be cleared by 10:30a.
Use the map to see which distance best fits your child’s ability.

Triple Shot
Training wheels are not allowed on the Triple Shot course. All balance bikes on the Triple Shot course must have a brake. Triple Shot riders should be experienced on dirt paths, and short steep hills. The course is open to all users and is a two-way multi-path. For the safety of all users, all Triple Shot riders will stop at the Granite Creek Park Aid Station and wait for the last rider to arrive before returning back to the finish line. All riders are encouraged to enjoy a refreshment while waiting.
Hand and eye protection are recommended. And remember, the Shimano Kids’ Fun Ride takes place rain or shine.
