• Ability to participate in Fun Weekend (must have met all commitment requirements by August 31 to participate).
• Partial reimbursement of race fees (depending on club funds).

Ride Policy:
We follow a no-rider-left-behind policy. Each group of riders needs to do a head-count at the beginning of each ride, and at each regrouping point. Should you decide not to finish a ride with the group, you must let another rider in your group know before you turn off. It is a common courtesy that each rider takes turns in the "caboose" position throughout the season. In addition, every rider is responsible for having their bike in proper working condition, and for carrying appropriate equipment such as helmet, pump, tubes, tools, and water.

Introducing New Riders:
Although we want to encourage women to participate in the sport of mountain biking, our Tuesday rides are not set up for first time riders. If you want to encourage a friend to participate in our weekly rides, you should ride with them several times before bringing them on a Tuesday ride and check that they have appropriate equipment. Please plan on riding with that person for their first Team BOB ride to ensure they are in a group with an appropriate skill level.

Email Policy:
The Team BOB Yahoo! Group list will be restricted to paid members (and past members who request to be kept on the list). Email posted to teambob@yahoogroups.com is sent to all current members. As such, emails should be used in a responsible manner. Only emails that are thought to interest the whole group should be posted. Emails that are for personal promotion are not acceptable. That said, the club recognizes that Team BOB provides networking opportunities at many different levels. If you have a business, hobby, or skill you would like other members to know about, please fill out that info on the bottom of this letter, and we will post it on our web site.

Download, print, fill-out and bring this completed registration form to the next scheduled ride.
