Ride Up Grades is a non profit dedicated to safe street and group road riding. To achieve this goal it is imperative that riders work as a team and respect the coaches, riders, pedestrians and others in the shared spaces. Please confirm that you understand that there is a zero tolerance policy for hate, cruelty, disrespect or intolerance towards any member of the group, or members of the pubic - including, but not limited to, coaches and other riders. Riders who cannot function within the group will be pointed to the appropriate social support but will be immediately removed from camp.  *
Tell us why you want to participate in the Roy's Level Up Week or something interesting about yourself. *
