The RAC This Week (Oct. 28th)

Dear Parents

Another beautiful picture. Thank you, Lei. Thank you for coming. The neighbors were happy to see us. 

  1. Friendly Reminders 

  1. Please observe your kids next time they stop. If they fall over sideways, they need to work on Safety Stop. 

  2. Please bring two tubes per bike. You will have a flat tire eventually. 

  3. Sometimes, when a child is struggling, we assign a Youth Support rider to ride with that child. This arrangement often makes things easier, for both child and parents. Please let me know in advance if you would like to take advantage of this service. Please do not ask Youth Support to ride with your child because he/she is faster than you are.  

  4. Please come to our RAC fundraiser on October 30 at the Kebab Shop in CM. 

2. FROM DR.BOB, BIKE MECHANIC

The topic for this week’s newsletter is bicycle saddles, a very important but often overlooked piece of biking equipment.

3. Q&A 

Question: My child is busy but I am not. Can I come by myself? 

Answer: Absolutely. Lots of parents are doing that. 

Questions: Who tracks our miles? 

Answer: You are. Our ridewithgps link displays miles in the upper left hand corner. 

Count every mile you ride, with or without out. We will ask for your total miles in February .
