Wolseley Wheels Mountain Bike Club
2009 Parent/Rider Program Guide
Welcome to the 2009
cycling season with the Wolseley Wheels Mountain Bike Club.
We are continually
enhancing our program to bring a positive cycling experience to our
members, whether they want to experience new local trails, get out
with friends for a social ride, or try to improve their cycling
skills with aspirations of becoming a member of the Provincial
Cycling Team.
We are supported by the
good folks at Woodcock Cycle. Tim and his gang can be found servicing
our bikes, providing necessary cycling accessories, and helping out
at races.
We will be adding the
2009 program schedule before the program commences during the last
week of April.
The following
items summarize many of parents/rider’s frequently asked
questions:
Registration:
Registration to the Wolseley Wheels Mountain Bike Club is through the
Manitoba Cycling Association. (www.cycling.mb.ca)
Bikes: We will
be able to make minor adjustments and repairs to your bikes at the
events, however this will draw us away from our coaching
responsibilities. We strongly recommend taking your bike to a trained
professional to ensure you have a safe and trouble free cycling
season.
Helmets: A
program requirement! Helmets must be worn at all events. They must be
CSA certified and properly sized for your child’s head. We can
assist in fitting the helmets and setting up the straps.
Gloves/Glasses:
Highly recommended for protection of hands and eyes.
Closed Toed Shoes:
A program requirement! Sandals are not allowed for safety reasons.
Cycling Shorts:
Recommended, but not necessary. They provide protection to sensitive
areas once the rides become longer.
Tee Shirts: Once
we have our club rider numbers finalized, we will order Wolseley
Wheels shirts, sponsored by Woodcock Cycle Works
MCA Race Number and
Race Licence: Upon registration for Kids of Mud at the Manitoba
Cycling Association, you will be mailed a large plastic racing
number, and a licence. The racing numbers should be attached to the
handlebars of the bike prior to the first race. Tie wraps will be
provided, and we can assist you with this. You will have to present
your child’s licence to the race officials at each race. Please
keep them with you, and write the plate number on the back of the
licence for future reference.
