Lead Monthly Bike Rides on the Montpelier Bike Path!
Join us as a volunteer leader for our monthly bike rides along the scenic Montpelier Bike Path! This is a fantastic opportunity to share your love for biking, connect with fellow enthusiasts aged 50+, and help foster confidence, health, and social connections in your community.
What You’ll Do as a Volunteer Ride Leader:
- Lead the Pack: Plan and lead fun, casual bike rides once a month from May to August (timeframe can be shortened if needed).
- Ensure Rider Safety: Act as the group leader, with a designated “sweeper” for added safety.
- Create a Welcoming Environment: Choose beginner-friendly routes (3–5 miles, flat, and traffic-safe).
- Make It Social: Coordinate post-ride gatherings at nearby establishments to relax and share stories.
- Support Logistics: Collaborate with AARP VT to manage registrations, track attendance, and prepare for each ride (we’ll provide necessary check-in equipment).
Why Volunteer?
- Share your enthusiasm for biking with others.
- Help community members rediscover biking or build confidence.
- Be part of a supportive and fun group environment.
What You’ll Need:
- Familiarity with the Montpelier Bike Path or willingness to explore routes.
- Strong organizational skills and enthusiasm for leading group activities.
- Ability to commit to 3 - 4 rides, from May to August.
Extras We Provide:
