WHAT TO EXPECT
Upon accepting a spot on our ride team for the day, a refundable deposit of $50 is required to reserve your spot. If you are doing the entire weekend, you will need to pay $100 to reserve both. You will get this back at the end of the day in the same manner you paid. Pay Pal and credit cards accepted. ***IF YOU DO NOT SHOW, YOUR MONEY WILL BE ACCEPTED AS A DONATION TO MOTORCYCLE MISSIONS AND YOU WILL NOT GET A REFUND.
Before getting on the bike, the coaches will take you through the safety and maintenance checks you will be responsible for during your time with us. This includes regularly checking tire pressure, lubing and inspecting the chain, inspecting the cables and wires and looking for any possible hazards, and topping up the fuel. At the end of your ride, you will be responsible for cleaning your bike before helping staff and coaches put them away and tear down for the day.
Drink TONS of water the night before training, and get plenty of sleep. Track riding is physically demanding and requires you to be 100 percent on your game to avoid injury. Absolutely do not drink alcohol or do drugs the night before you ride. Any sign of impairment will result in you not being able to ride.
PLEASE NOTE* You are encouraged to listen to what your body is telling you and rest as long as needed.
