General Information

Agency Name:

Road Rascals Special Olympics Cycling Team

Description:

Special Olympics cycling team. We ride between February 1 and May 4 each spring semester on Saturday mornings from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and Wednesday evenings starting after Spring Break between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. We also compete in three cycling meets throughout the spring. Athletes age 8 and up on two wheels or adults trikes, but we also teach young people how to transition from training wheels to trikes or bikes. We need volunteers who LOVE to RIDE BIKES. We also need a few volunteers who are willing to walk quickly or run alongside or behind our slower athletes who may need either motivation or assistance with balance. If you plan to ride with us, you must have a bike and wear a helmet, and you must be able to transport your own bike. We will train you. We love our Aggie volunteers and the more we have the safer our athletes! Please call me if you have questions!
