5Town Riders
   In partnership with Bristol Recreation Department, 5 Town Riders is a central community cycling club that aims to support youth riders as they develop individual bike skills in a team focused environment. We offer skills training and trail rides in a group setting from June - October. We also offer (but not require) participation in the VTYC Race series.
   The club also dedicates time for Trail & Service work in our local community to give back to the landowners whose property we ride on, and to teach the team about caring for the land and general trail / earth stewardship. 

5Town Rider Club:
We welcome grades 5-12 to ride with us this summer/fall, you do not have to race to be part of the 5Town Riders. If you are interested in racing then please register in addition to VTYC. Good working mtn bike with front/full suspension is a must, and your own transportation to training and races is a plus.

Season Starts Wednesday June 21 at the Bristol Recreation Field at 3:15pm.
We will have a meet and greet, safety equipment check and then move into the six fundamental skills. This also will be a refresher for veteran club members. 
What to bring:
2020 or newer helmet (you can find the date inside the helmet) Please reach out to the office if you need advice on helmets.
Good working mountain bike, Disc brakes, and Front shock is required. You can have Cool Motion Outdoor Sports do a Bike Check at their shop. Call to make an appointment  802-453-4584
