We need more rides on the calendar and more ride leaders. To help motivate folks to sign up to lead rides, the board has approved a new ride leader incentive program.
 
If you've been thinking you would like to lead a ride but are unsure how to, we have two ways to help you get going. One way is a new Ride Leader Guideline that will be posted soon on the club website that walks you through the simple logistics and helps answer situational questions. Another way is to get mentored from one of our experienced ride leaders who can guide you in all phases. If you would like assistance, contact me and I will hook you up with a ride mentor.
 
If you are already comfortable leading, start earning points by posting rides.
 
Here's how the program works
 
To Qualify for a Ride Leader Jersey

Collect 10 points within this calendar year, then let the Ride Coordinator know when you think you have qualified. Jerseys will be ordered in September and distributed at the December banquet.

To qualify, you must be a member of DVBC.

1. Get one point for leading a ride that is listed in the club newsletter and which follows the Ride Leader Guidelines. Turn in your waiver sheet for credit. Impromptu rides put on the list serve are not credited.
2. Get one point for volunteering at any of DVBC's major tours (Bonkers, Brandywine, or ToPa).
3. Get five points for leading a major tour or for filling a social chair (newsletter editor, public relations manager, and others to be determined).
   
    Ride Leader jerseys are a great way to show that you are an active club volunteer.
