Community Outreach for March

As we discussed at practice last Friday, the expectation for ALL RIDERS will be to contribute at least 4 hours each month towards El Grupo's community outreach mission. There will be plenty of opportunities to complete these, with lots of variety. Only a few riders are needed to complete each one, but feel free to ask family members and friends to come out to help and get involved. Some you will be able to do from home, some will get you out and about to instruct and inspire others to love and use bikes as much as we do!

Each rider is responsible for signing in their hours in our new OUTREACH log book in the clubhouse AND informing Daniela of the events in which they intend to participate. You can always do more than 4 hours, but fewer hours will mean fewer privileges.
