Ride Leader Training

Ride Leader Training

This combination theory/practical workshop is designed to help you lead weekly rides at your adult club.

The module includes a 2.5-hour online call via Telus Business Connect (ZOOM) and concludes with a 2.5-hour outdoor skills session and practice ride. Please ensure that your computer’s video and microphone are working well.

Cycling BC would like to recognize content contributions and support from both Glotman Simpson cycling club and WOW Ride women’s cycling club in creating this unique module.

This event was originally scheduled to take place in Victoria. However due to low registration as of April 7th, and a waitlist for our April 17th event in Burnaby, this April 18th event will also take place in Burnaby.
