The RAC this Week (Feb 7th)

Dear Parents,

A few Reminders:

  • Please remind the kids (and yourself) to practice proper passing especially when you are going up hills like the 3 Witches.  Scan and and say "On Your Left" as loudly as you can.  We're noticing some of kids are not passing safely or communicating.

  • If you have to stop for any reason, please step out of the bike lane onto the curb.   If the bike lane is narrow, passing riders have to ride around you and end up in the road potentially in front of passing cars.

  • Don't forget to complete the attached SECNAV if you haven't already.  Day 3 of the RAC we will stop at the NAF El Centro base.  The document is required for all above the age of 18.  The Y safely stores the documentation until they submit all documents in person.  All Highlighted sections must be completed.

Are you ready to log your miles with us?  You must ride a minimum of 350 miles before the RAC begins.  We of course recommend you ride more.  🙂  Please click on the following link, find your name, and log your current miles.  Continue logging your miles through April 11th.
