Dear Team...
ARE YOU READY TO GO??!! Pre-season is officially here! Registration is open for the League, for our team, etc. We are in full go mode now. And soon, we'll be riding together as a team. I am REALLY EXCITED! Can you tell?
...
We are trying something new for providing information this year - using a new technology platform for us that allows us to create lots of great documentation and share it easily. We are building that content out and transferring it from documents to the web this next week. So I will be providing some information here in the email and some will be provided in the links below. Ok, let's go...

REGISTRATION
First order - GET REGISTERED. This is outlined on our website here: https://www.cedarvalleymtb.com/join-the-team.html
...
If you have any questions about registration, please let me know!
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
If you are needing financial assistance this year, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/cB1hL32qCqkxzn9SA
We will review and discuss with you options and what we can do for you. Remember, finances is not the reason you cannot join the team. Please talk to us if you need help.
Don't forget, if you help us find a sponsor that commits to us this year, you will get the following: 1) for a $500 sponsor, you get 1 free team fee. 2) for a $1,000 or above sponsor, you get both your team fee and your race kit paid for!
GET ON SLACK
Slack is our team communication platform. Here is an invite you can click to join it: https://join.slack.com/t/cedarvalleymtb/shared_invite/zt-cojmcpee-nrzfGlgmkqHRZ85TbEl3dA
Also, here is a link to a page where I am building more information and will be providing training on how to use it - in case it's confusing to you. It's free, fast, and very flexible for our needs.

PRE-SEASON SCHEDULE
There are three ways - YES, THREE ways that you can get our schedule for pre-season and on-going. Option 3 has the most details, but all will have enough to get you where you need to be, when you need to be there.
If you want a ton of great details about what we're doing each practice, where it is, times, map links, and more!: GO TO CALENDAR
You can actually make that page an app on your phone by making a shortcut to it. We'll send out instructions if you want that.Check out this google calendar and add it to your calendar: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/1?cid=Y2VkYXJ2YWxsZXltdGJAZ21haWwuY29t
The google calendar is synced to our website here: https://www.cedarvalleymtb.com/calendar.html
RACE KITS
The store is now open to order your kits. Here is how it works...
...
JUST TO BE CLEAR - every kid is required by our league to have a team uniform. So this is not an optional purchase.
FIRST TWO PRACTICES
Please see our calendar for details , but just a reminder, of our first two practice dates and times:
APRIL 10th, 8:30 - 11:30 am - Jordan River Parkway Trailhead (Saratoga Springs) - 8:30 am at Hidden Hollow, or 8:50 am at the trailhead. We will carpool from the school down there and back - you are welcome to just meet us there as well.
APRIL 17th 9:00 - 11:30 am - Brandon Park, Eagle Mountain - large park on Brandon Park Dr. down in the Edge Development near the rodeo grounds. This is our race kit fitting date and a skills training day.
CALLING ALL PARENTS - #1
We need ride leaders and coaches. We are required to meet a specific base ratio of adults to kids when we ride. This means, we need as many of you or your friends as possible to register as a ride leader, do a tiny bit of training online, and come ride with us as often as you can/would like. We would love as many of you as possible. Without this, we cannot practice. It's an awesome experience, you can ride where you are comfortable riding, and you'll ride and learn right alongside your kids if you want. It's one of the best things to do, and we want you all. You do not need to be at any specific level of rider. Trust me! Anyone that can and would like to, please let me know so I can send you an invitation to register.
CALLING ALL PARENTS - #2
We would love your involvement in any way we can get. We have three great ways we would love your help:
Share your time and talents as a volunteer in some way (photography, graphic design, social media, etc) - let us know and we'll find a place for you to help.
Share the attached sponsor packet with businesses you know and ask them to be a sponsor this year.
We take donations. Spread the word with your family and friends. We have a Venmo and a link for donations - check it out on our SUPPORT US PAGE
Donations go towards helping with scholarships for the team and our bike library.
ADDITIONAL INFO
We also have a team store where during the season you can buy stuff (you can buy at races and other activities as well). Check it out here: STORE
We'll be adding items as we go. We also have some items from last year for sale there.We have a few brand new bikes available for purchase, if you need one. Reach out to me if this is the case. We have gone out to get ahead of things so that we had some inventory available. I can send details. These are entry level bikes,but good ones. All under $700.
