2012 SHCC Coaching Sessions
In a continued effort to provide excellent services the ShortHills Cycling Club will continue to offer skill sessions and youth rides throughout the summer in 2012. The goal is to create a safe and friendly atmosphere for club members to learn and develop their confidence and handling skills on the bike.

Please note, in order to participate or volunteer you must be a club member. Unfortunately we cannot allow any exceptions. The 2012 membership form is available under the Membership section on www.shorthillscyclingclub.com. Please bring the form along with your signed waiver and payment. Someone will be there to collect and hand out membership cards.

You must come equip with a good bike in proper working condition, a helmet, a spare tube and tools in case of trail-side repair. One way to tell a good bike is that it has skewers instead of bolt on wheels.

If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact us at coach@shorthillscyclingclub.com or send a PM through the SHCC Forum.

R.A.C.E.R. Program

The purpose of the SHCC ‐ Racing And Club Effort Reward Program (R.A.C.E.R. Program) is to act as an incentive rewards program to encourage participation in sanctioned and non‐sanctioned mountain bike racing events while representing the SHCC and our Sponsors. The focus of this program will be on mountain bike racing and Club Member involvement within the SHCC and shall be done on a volunteer basis. The SHCC hopes to produce a focused group of racers willing to represent the SHCC while trying to reach personal goals and achievements and taking an active role within the SHCC. Volunteer participants of the R.A.C.E.R. Program will receive the full support of the SHCC and the SHCC Racing Team Committee and receive any rewards or rights this program invokes.

The R.A.C.E.R. Program will reward participants enrolled in the R.A.C.E.R. Program upon the completion of the mountain bike racing season at the Club's AGM.
