Open Call for Ride Leaders

Posted on June 19, 2019June 19, 2019 | 6 Comments

The strength of the NHCC ride program relies on the commitment of volunteers and we’d really like some more help. We are looking to expand our pool of ride leaders in order to continue offering the quantity and choice of rides the NHCC currently enjoys. Even if you can just be available occasionally, it sure helps to share the load.

You don’t need to be a super-fit cyclist, just willing to pitch in a little. In order to be a ride leader, we ask that:

You ride at the front of the group to set the pace (except for Level 4 which has no maximum pace)
You are able to navigate using Ride With GPS or a printed map
You are familiar with safety protocols, or have the willingness to learn!

With our Ride with GPS club membership and turn by turn instructions it can be super easy to navigate. We’ll show you how if you haven’t figured it out. If you are a fairly regular participant in any of the Club rides please consider helping out.

FYI, these are the weekly scheduled rides to consider volunteering for:
Monday evenings: Level 1, Level 3
Tuesday evenings: Level 2, Level 4
Wednesday evenings: Level 1, Level 3
Thursday evenings: Level 2, Level 4
Sunday or Saturday mornings: any level
Friday mornings: Mixed Levels

Just send off a quick email to Debbie and let her know you can help president@northumberlandhills cyclingclub.com and we’ll connect you up with the ride coordinator who will get you ready to go!

A great big thank you!
