You Can Be a HBC Ride Leader

It's easy to lead rides for HBC. There's no need to wait for a special class. You can complete your training at any time of the year.

Here's how it works:

  • Choose a current HBC ride leader to serve as your peer instructor.
  • Setup a time to meet with your peer instructor.
  • The meeting can be anywhere - e.g. Caribou Coffee
  • Review the HBC Ride Leader Guidelines with your peer instructor.
  • This review will only take about 60 to 90 minutes.
  • Co-lead two rides with your peer instructor
  • Produce a map for one of the two rides and submitt it to the HBC mapmaster

That's it! You're now a HBC ride leader.

You'll gain these benefits:

  • Leading rides near your home at times and places that you choose.
  • Leading e-rides on short notice.
  • Choosing your own routes.
  • Qualifying for the converted, free L'Etoile du Nord jersey, a $70 value.
  • Earning an elegant, free dinner at HBC's Salute to Volunteers Banquet, simply by leading three rides. The two rides that you co-lead with your peer instructor even count towards those three rides!
