The RAC This Week (Sep 10th)

Dear Parents

Thank you for coming to last weekend’s hot rides. It was a pleasure to meet you and see you again.

A special welcome to the families of Xavier, Jack, Paulo, and Annabelle, who made it off the waitlist.

1. RAC Requirements. Correction from last week.

Each adult rider and each child must complete two Escondido Hill Rides (not one) in the spring.

2. More RAC Rules.

3. Homework. Power Pedal

Please practice with your child.
Starting: pedal at 2 or 10 o’clock. Push down. Hover. Count to three. Sit.
Do not allow your child to sit on the saddle when starting.
Stopping: Stand up. Squeeze both brakes gently. Hover. Count to three. Put foot down.
Power Pedal is not optional.
It’s essential for quick starts to get a long line of riders across the street.
It’s essential to make it up steep hills.
Come early to training rides, and we’ll practice with your child.
You and your child will be asked to demonstrate Power Pedal during future training rides.

4. RAC Fundraiser this coming Saturday and Sunday

Thank you for considering us.

5. From Dr. Bob, bike mechanic

“This week, Dr. Bob discusses bike seats and other issues. Give it a read if you are noticing that your rides are a literal pain in the butt.

Also, we currently have seven children's bikes and two adult bikes available. Take a look:
