Skills We’ll Cover:

The Basics – pedal stroke, braking, getting out of the saddle, cornering
Confident Pack Riding – we’re going to get comfortable with close contact riding (don’t worry, we’ll do this bit on the grass).
Surviving a Group Ride – drafting essentials, paceline & echelon practice, group communication.
PLEASE READ GROUP RIDE GUIDELINES FIRST: http://dirtskirt.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Velodonnas-Group-ride-guide.pdf
Come with any questions you have!

What to Bring:

HELMET - mandatory. No helmet = no riding
Road bike or road-worthy bike (no cruisers, flat bar hybrids, fat bikes, tricycles or unicycles)
Water bottle
Granola bar or something to keep you happy and awake
Spare tube, tire lever, hand pump – whatever you normally carry in case of a flat. Don’t know what to do in case of a flat? We’re gonna change that.
Emergency contact with medical alert information (e.g. a card in your pocket, Road ID wristband http://www.roadid.com/)
Your enthusiasm for learning new skills / improving skills you already have / challenging yourself
