MEET THE TEAM RIDES : DIRT
In order to give cyclocross riders and teams an opportunity for an introduction in their natural habitat, we’re again scheduling a series of Meet the Team Rides for cyclocross and mountain bike squads. Date, time, place, route, and other pertinent info is listed below for each ride.
The goal is to provide an opportunity for new and experienced racers looking for a team for the 2019 season to get to know the teams in this discipline BEFORE the season starts. As with the road version, these Meet the Team Rides should be social with lots of chance for interaction and getting acquainted. How the individual rides are structured, scheduled, and located is up to the host team, so be prepared for something different on each ride. These rides happen rain, wind, or sunshine! Bring a functioning bike suitable for riding the trails described, helmet, water, some food, weather-appropriate clothing, a little money, and an extra tube in case you flat.
See the 2019 cyclocross schedule in the WSBA calendar. Want your ride added to this list? Contact marthalwalsh at yahoo.com.
