Ride Escorts

The position of a Ride Escort is to assist the groups in riding safely to and from the workout venues. The students leave school grounds in small groups. We prefer each group has two adults to get them safely to the workout venues. This is the warm-up part of the workout, with modest speeds. This is NOT racing to the venue. It is riding safely on public streets. Once at the venues (Valley View Trails, Sunfish Lake Park, Browns Creek, Lake Elmo, etc.) the trained coaches take over. Ride Escorts will then help as needed for the workout, and then again escort the students back to school grounds. All Ride Escorts will have a MCA background check on file.
