The All-Team Ride is a chance for all levels of riders to learn cycling skills and start a ride together. Team Swift Alumni members, rider assistants, are also often on these rides which gives upcoming riders a chance to learn from their experience. Parents and supporters of Team Swift are welcome to join as well. We will start together and then break into different groups depending on skill level. There will be a coach and/or parent with each group. The ride will be approximately 2.0-2.5 hours depending on skill level and age.

Team Swift Riding Rules:
*Helmets are mandatory.
*If you are not a current Team Swift member you will need to sign a waiver and release. These will be available before the start of the ride and are also downloadable from the Team Swift website. If you are under 18 years of age you will need a parent or guardian signature. Everyone on the ride will need to sign a release.

*Carry 2 spare tubes, tire irons, money, water, energy bars, ID with an emergency phone number, and enough warm clothing.
*Your bike needs to be clean for each group and team ride.
*Pre Ride Safety Check: look at your tires to make sure you don’t have glass in them and check the quick-release skewers on your hubs to make sure they are totally secure. Ask for help at the shop prier to departure.
*Always ride to the right side of the road and in the bike lanes if available.
*Respect all traffic laws.
*Coaches or ride leaders are on the road for your safety. Listen closely for their advice in the group. This is a major safety issue especially when there are a lot of riders and traffic on the roads. A quick response may be necessary.
