Please ensure your child has safe, age-appropriate gear. Ensure the bike has received a tune up and is in safe working condition. Ensure the helmet is free of any cracks and fits the child snugly.

• Please ensure you are on time when dropping off and picking up your child. Groups often start riding right after drop off time. On time means ready to ride at the meeting time.

• If your child is going to be absent, call, text or email their group leader so they do not wait unnecessarily.

• If someone other than the child’s parent will be picking up your child at the end of a session or you have instructed them to ride home on their own, please make sure this has been communicated by the parent (not your child) to the coach in advance.

• Please ensure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather, and changing weather conditions. Layers are ideal. Full finger gloves are great from a safety aspect, as well, keeping little fingers warm. Send a rain jacket in the backpack. Apply sunscreen and bug repellent as needed prior to the session.

• Please ensure your child has had a nutritious meal and a bathroom visit prior to their session, and send water and a healthy nut-free snack.

•  If your child has a medical condition please inform the Head Coach regarding details prior to departure on the first day
