Week of June 12 - After School Practices
June 12 is our first week of Summer practices. Originally, this week had a few morning practices for Devo. However, some riders are still in school, so we've moved all practices to evenings (the same schedule as our current Spring weekly practices).
Tick Checks
Ticks are out in force. Please make sure to do a thorough tick check and shower soon after practices.
Mid-Season Check-in Feedback Form

Upcoming Events
VTYC Group Ride and BBQ at Rochester Trails Saturday, June 3rd
Open to all VTYC participants and SMBA riders. Groups will be led by the Ridgeline Riders team. More info in the flyer (attached). Should be a super fun opportunity, and Coach Ross will be attending.
Black River Grand Prix XC Saturday, June 10
This is a pretty unique "XC race". No laps, just one big 16-mile loop. It's basically a mass-start adventure ride on awesome Vermont terrain. Not a formally supported SMBA race, but a great opportunity. More info here.
Velo Stowe Gravel Ride Saturday, July 29
A partnership between Stowe Trails, Hitchhiker, and Talta Lodge. 35 miles of good Stowe gravel! Again, not formally by SMBA, but a great opportunity. More info here.
