The RAC This Week (Feb. 17th)

Dear Parents. 

Congratulations on another two successful Escondido Hill Climbs. 


A. And now a message of friendly reminders from our volunteers 

  • Bring two tubes per bike. 

  • If your tires are tubeless, bring sealant and CO2. Bring to levers.   

    • Our Youth Support had to give up their tubes and they needed them for themselves. 

  • Practice power pedal and safety stop. We still have kids stumbling and falling. 

  • All kids need a water bottle and a hydration back.

  • The neon vest needs to go OVER the hydration back. 

  • Names must be visible. 



B. Let’s Talk. Communication on the RAC (and training rides) 

It’s time to talk. To each other. 

See something, say something. 

  • Shout outs are such great motivators.  

  • “Good job, Mary Lou.” 

  • “Awesome scanning,  Kasimir” 

And shout outs are friendly reminders. 

  • “Single file, Asterix.” 

  • “Pass four at a time Citronella!” 

  • “You have lower gears, Nepomuk.” 


What not to say: 

“Please go faster.” 

Chances are, they can’t. 


Tip about long lines. 

To avoid long ‘traffic jams’ of riders crawling up the hills, start at your natural speed. 

If you usually ride in the middle, don’t start with the front. 


Another tip. My best one. 

Find your tribe and stay together. 

Find people your speed. 

Get to know them. 

Stay with them. Stop with them for bathroom or chase breaks. Stay together all day. 

Having a "tribe" makes the long miles and big hills much easier (and more fun) for both you and your child.


C. During the week of the RAC, you will not receive emails. 

Instead, starting on April 1, information will be sent out via What’s App. 

Please download the free app and scan the QR code. Many thanks. 

D. RAC meetings. All at Design 39 at 7 pm.

The RAC This Week (Feb. 10th)

Dear Parents. 

Congratulations to all who made it up the hill. (And you all made it up the hill.) 

A. Friendly Reminder 

  • Some of our 5th graders still fall over when they stop. 

  • Because they sit on their saddle when they stop. 

  • Which is something they should not do. 

  • When they fall over, they usually fall toward traffic.

  • That freaks out at least one volunteer. 

    • And should freak you out, too, dear parent. 

  • You MUST practice ‘safety stop’ with your child. 

  • The roads on the RAC are not the 56 bike path. 

B. Speaking of Roads 

  • The good news. The Escondido Hill route is being repaved 

  • The bad news. They haven’t restriped some of the bike lanes yet. 

  • Near the turn around, on top of the hill, there are no stripes to be found. 

  • Not for cars. Not for us. 

  • Make sure your child stays to the far right as we approach the top and as we leave the hill.. 

  • Without a dedicated bike lane, kids often veer to the middle of the road. 

C. RAC meetings 

  • Thursday, Feb 26. The T-shirt design contest. Camping. General information. Bring the kids. 

  • Tuesday, March 24. MANDATORY. 

    • Please make sure that at least one member of your family attends.

    • Bring the kids.  

  • Tuesday, May 26. RAC reunion. Potluck and pictures. Bring the family 

D. Calling all 5th Graders. The RAC 26 T-shirt Design Contest 

  • Included in the RAC fee is your official 2026 RAC t-shirt. 

  • Every rider, chase, chase child, and volunteer receives on

  • Please encourage your 5th grader to submit a design.  

  • We wear these shirts for our group pictures. See below. 

  • Your child will love to see his/her design on 150 t-shirts. 

  • These T-shirts become treasured souvenirs of a fabulous week

  •  And will only increase in value in years to come. 

  • Please come to the Feb 26 meeting to see our 5th graders model previous winning designs. 

RAC T-Shirt Design Contest Rules 

  1. Please email your child’s design to Christiane by March 4th. 

  2. Include “RAC” or “Ride Across California” and “2026 ” 

  3. Put your child’s name on the back of the drawing.

    • Once we select a winner, we will add your child’s name to the design 

  4. The t-shirt color background will be black. 

  5. The RAC route is already printed on the back of the t-shirt. 

    • Please consider this when your  kids create their design. 

  6. Volunteers will select the winner in an anonymous vote. 

  7. Traditionally, volunteers have voted for 

  • designs that looked like they came from a 5th grader (and not a parent)

  • hand-drawn designs (vs computer generated) 

  • bold and large designs (vs small and intricate)

      8. The winner will be announced at the March meeting.

From Joel, volunteer, jersey designer and coordinator 

“February 1st, this coming Sunday, is the last day to order RAC Jerseys.

If you're interested in purchasing a RAC jersey, shirt, or jacket, the store is open. Get your order in by February 1st.

Ordering a jersey, shirt, or jacket is a fun way to show your support for The RAC, but it is absolutely not required. 10% of sales are given back and help fund The RAC.

Cycling clothing tends to run tight, so if you're unsure of your size, order up.

Let me know if you have any questions.”

The RAC This Week (Jan. 21st)

Dear Parents. 


RAC co-founder Mike Fickel's memorial service will be held on 

  • Saturday, February 7th, at 2 pm. 

  • St. Bart's Episcopal Church 

  • 16275 Pomerado Rd, Poway, CA 92064. 

  • All are invited.

  • Please wear your RAC t-shirt, if you have one. 

From Julie, attendance volunteer  

Because the memorial service for RAC Co-Founder Mike Fickel conflicts with one of our scheduled Escondido Hill Rides, we have cancelled the EHR previously scheduled for February 7 and replaced it with a new EHR  Sunday, Feb 15. Two EHRs are required for RAC participation. As you know, we do not reschedule EHRs for rainouts, so everyone should already have at least three EHRs on their calendar. We also understand that some families plan their schedules far in advance, and thus this reschedule may cause hardship for a few of you. We therefore ask that if you think your family might have difficulty completing two Escondido Hill Rides with the revised schedule, you contact us NOW, so that we can arrange an equivalent alternative. If we do not hear from you before February 7, and you do not complete two Escondido Hill Rides, you will not be able to ride the RAC. 


Bob (and the rest of us) would like to remind everyone to bring two tubes per bike. 

If you do not have extra tubes for your bike, and if you have flat tire, you (and your child) 

  1. might have to walk back to your car. 

  2. or might have to sit on the side of the road for ? hours until your partner can pick you up. 

Both scenarios are unpleasant, as you might have guessed. 

The Escondido Hill Rides are coming up 

Every riding member of your family must complete two Escondido Hill Rides with us. 

We offer six. 

  • Sunday. 8 Feb 

  • Saturday. 14 Feb 

  • Sunday. 15 Feb (new) 

  • Saturday 28 Feb 

  • Saturday, 14 Mar

  • Sunday, 22 Mar 

Please plan on attending at least three: February and March rides are often rained out. 

We do not reschedule rained out rides. 

Special recognition is given to those who attend all  EHRides. 

Please read Julie’s comment re. Feb 7th.

The RAC This Week (Nov. 18th)

DEAR PARENTS 

________________________

Training Ride Cancellations 

  • We occasionally need to cancel training rides due to weather conditions.

  • We do not reschedule or make up canceled rides, nor do we adjust the starting time by a short interval (e.g., an hour).

  • Why not? Short notice changes for our large group make child care arrangements and general planning difficult. 

  • We suggest scheduling at least two rides with us each month just in case one ride is canceled. 

______________________

Why Training Ride Attendance is Crucial

We understand that mandatory attendance for our training rides can be inconvenient. However, this policy is directly linked to the safety and success of the RAC. Here is the back story: 

  • The Early Days (Pre-2015): The RAC, then called  "Bike Club," began with focused training led by Deer Canyon Elementary's 5th-grade teacher Dennis Bueker and principal Mike Fickel. After Dennis retired, training rides were voluntary; training had only two mandatory, challenging rides in March.

  • Safety Concerns & Dropouts: During this post Dennis period, the RAC was ‘sketchier.’  A significant percentage of participants (around 20%?) would drop out after the difficult mandatory training rides. Parent/kids weren’t trained to ride with large groups 

  • The Shift (Post-2015): When training rides became mandatory, we saw an improvement. Drop-out rates fell , and riders reported being much happier on the RAC because they could enjoy it.

  • The Most Important Result: Our groups became safer. 

Mandatory training ride attendance is for your benefit and the safety of all participants. Thank you for understanding. 

_______________________

Please remember the The Night Light Bike Ride  on Saturday, December 6 at 4 pm. This is one of our prettiest rides and definitely the most sparkliest. 

______________________

From Dr. Bob, Bike Mechanic

The Night Light Bike Ride is coming up December 6.  Everyone decorates their bikes with lights and it’s tons of fun.  Now seems like a good time to get lights and figure out how to mount them on your bike.  The mechanic newsletter discusses this and also, what kind of lights you should use for safety.

Bike Lights

We still have bikes if you are looking.  Contact mechanic@rideacrosscalifornia if you are interested.

There will be no mechanic’s clinic this week.  I’m busy getting ready for the El Tour de Tucson.  When we resume, we will go back to tire changing.  We will also be changing the day and time of the clinic.  I’m thinking Saturday’s at 3, but if you would like to see a different day or time, let me know. 

________________________

Question: What if two rides are cancelled in one month? 

Answer: In the unlikely event of two rainy weekends in one month,  we suspend our attendance policy for that month.
