The RAC This Week (Jan. 10th)



Every riding adult is expected to read every weekly newsletter.

________________________


Dear Parents. 

Please come to our Chipotle RAC fundraiser on Jan 14 from 4 - 8 pm 

10550 Craftsman Way. SD 92127. Use code YXNEYXK or show the flyer.

Thank you for considering us.  


Kids need to wear a hydration pack. 

Where to get them: 

  • Borrow from a friend. 

  • The yellow one is currently on sale on Amazon. (No, sadly, we do not get a commission)

  • We suggest 70 oz or 40 oz capacity. (Anything bigger gets too heavy for kids) 

Make sure the vest covers the hydration pack (unless it’s yellow) 

Make sure the name is visible (and not covered by hair etc.) 

  • “But my child doesn’t like to wear it.”
    Get your child used to it by having him/her carry it around the house. 

  • “But my child doesn’t need that much water.” 

Yes, because we have been riding in chilly temps. 

The RAC is not like the training rides (You heard it here first) 

The desert is dry. We dehydrate by simply standing on the side of the road. 

We need to drink all day. Kids won’t drink if they have to find their adult and ask for a water bottle.


  1. Chase parents: Ensure the vehicle you bring on the RAC fits in a regular parking space ( 18 feet long or shorter). The two RVs that we allow have been assigned. If in doubt, contact Sabine.

  2. From Dr. Bob, Bike Mechanic 

“This weeks newsletter from Dr Bob discusses tires and what you should consider for the RAC.”
