You must complete at least 350 miles.  Don't stop at 350 miles!  The more you can ride the easier the RAC will be.  No need to update you numbers after you hit 350.

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.  You can scan and email to amarrufo@ymca.org.

Looking Ahead…

  • The required April meeting (Thursday, April 2 at 7 pm or Tuesday, April 7 at 7 pm; pick a date) is mandatory. Everyone planning on attending the RAC is expected to attend one. Sundance Elementary School.

As we get closer to the RAC, be sure to check out the Website.  There is a lot of helpful information about packing, Day One, the start location at the River, and most importantly - what you are responsible for.
