HELP Needed to Get t he Word out for VOLUNTEERS and Riders to Fill our Learn to Ride A Bike camp sessions

We kindly ask your help to get the word out to help recruit 45 spotters per day…… June 9 – 13.

Volunteers are needed to work as spotters/runners to jog alongside our new riders, for their 75 minute sessions. Some riders need two spotters, on each side of their bike.

It is ideal to have each spotter work the same session each day of week, with an assigned rider, but sometimes this is not possible. Days off can be arranged and substitute runners recruited to fill in. SO, spotters are welcomed any days they can make it!

Note: Spotters generally walk fast or comfortably jog on the first day, and build to a jog/run/ sprint/sweat as their rider and the week progresses. We need enough runners to give our spotters a break during each and every session! GREAT Work Out folks – AND so good for your soul!

Ideally, sign up for the same session each day to motivate and teach a child to ride. There are 8 riders signed up per session. 10 – 12 volunteers needed per session to provide needed breaks, cover an absent volunteer and/or flank a rider that needs extra help.

Here is our session Schedule Monday – Friday:

Session 1: 9:30 AM – 10:45 AM
Session 2: 11:05 AM – 12:20 PM
Session 3: 12:50 PM – 2:05 PM
Session 4: 2:25 PM – 3:40 PM

Kids, Teens or Adults with any disability – A few openings remain in this year’s Santa Barbara camp to learn to ride a classic two-wheeled bike – June 9 – 13.

We need to hear from you ASAP if you want to attend this years camp. Details listed on attached flier. Questions: Contact Retta Slay at 805/452-9039; Some scholarship funds available/

You do not need to own a bike to learn at camp, but will need to get one to continue riding after camp.

Thank you!
