There may be occasions when we have no phone access to our group for over 24 hours. However, we require all TLS leaders to call the director at the Becket-Chimney Corners YMCA office a minimum of once a week. In the case of severe weather, the leaders will make alternative plans, but this will only happen when riding conditions become questionable or unsafe. Participants will learn how to ride safely, read a road map, and keep dry and happy. The above items are compulsory for the trip.
Most items are available at cycling shops or by mail order.
Participants will receive a complete equipment list upon acceptance to the program. Closing TLS participants will strengthen their biking, camping, and traveling skills. They will also have the opportunity to learn and practice techniques of positive leadership in group situations, while clarifying personal and societal values through discussions and activities. Independence, cooperation, responsibility, achievement, fun . . .
