Hello Hellyerites,

We have received official approval from the County to open. The soft opening date is Tuesday, August 18^th.

These are unprecedented times. Everyone is navigating this health crisis in their own way. Running a session or attending a session is a personal choice. The BOARD respects your choice. There has been interests from the community and some supervisors to open, and the Board voted unanimously to move forward with pursuing the approval to open. It took some time and we are appreciative of the thoroughness of the County.

We will be doing a soft opening for the first week or two, before adding any additional sessions (volunteer supervisor dependent). Sessions: (M & Tue a.m. intermediate, Tue Juniors, and Sun a.m. Adv). This will allow us time to work out any kinks and see if there is a demand for us to be open.

We are unable to run beginner sessions at this time, as we are not authorized to use the rental fleet for adults or do group riding of any kind.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION/REQUIREMENTS:

1. “face coverings are to be worn at all times except when exercising AND being able to maintain 6ft separation:. This is not an either or. So even though we can spread out with 40+ feet between us on the infield, face coverings are required at all times except when exercising 6+ft apart.
