Dear Parents.
Congratulations to
Ephraim - Andon - Nicholas - Serena - Mia - Michelle
for completing 350 training miles and two Escondido Hill Rides.
You are our first qualifiers. We are so excited for you.
Honor system.
We will not kick you out if you are low on miles.
On the contrary. We offer extra help so you can catch up.
Some of you have not logged any miles yet.
Please do so now.
Our staff is composed of dedicated volunteers
with jobs and families and
the task of ‘running after missing information”
and contacting parents individually
can be quite taxing.
Everyone logging his/her child’s miles
makes our job much easier
and prevents this newsletter
from becoming overly long
and redundant
which is something we try to avoid
if possible
and at almost all costs.

During the RAC, all announcements arrive via this app. None arrive via email.

Escondido Hill Ride tips
You need to complete 2 with us. We offer 3 more.
The EHRides include two snack stops
Try to make it up the hills without stopping. Help your child pace him/herself.
If you must stop on the hills
stop where it’s flat-ish.
make sure to move to the right
stop before a curve, not in or behind a curve
stop in the shade
stop for 30 seconds. Drink. Go.
Saturday will be hot.
Your child MUST carry a hydration pack and a bottle for Gatorade.
Your child must be able to drink out of the hydration pack while riding. .
Speaking of hydration packs. This guy was found in the parking lot after last Sunday’s ride. Did anyone lose it? It currently resides at my house.
See you on Saturday. Have a great week.
Christiane
