About the event
The Cycling honor consists of theoretical, practical and physical portions. You will learn about the parts of the bicycle and their functions. You will also learn how to give proper maintenance and repair. It also includes a requirement to complete 4 different rides in different locations: Three 10-mile rides and one 50-mile ride. The first session will begin on Saturday with an overnight stay at TVRC. Please bring your own food and water as it will not be supplied. Overnight stay will require a tent.
