Practices this Week, Lake Rebecca Recap, Race Three: Whitetail Ridge, End of the Year Banquet, Fundraising and Volunteering
WE NEED LOT PARENTS! As of today, we need many more lot parents in the coming weeks. Make sure you are scrolling down to see the correct sign ups. Help sign in/out riders at each practice, stick around in case they are needed during practice. It’s a “volunteer when you can, no long-term commitment” type of opportunity and a great way to get to know everyone on the team.

As of now, it looks a bit rainy this weekend. It’s going to be important to get this weather update if that’s possible. If that’s not possible, the Minnesota Cycling Association’s Facebook and Instragram are great, fairly timely sources of weather related information.
