The Ride Host Credit Program allows VS club members, that lead VS club rides, accumulate credit that can be used towards VS club membership or acquiring club clothing. The following guidelines determine how Ride Host Credit is earned.
1. Club members will earn one Ride Host Credit for each ride led on behalf of the club.
2. On rides that require co-hosts, the ride co-hosts will also earn one Ride Host Credit = $6. You must have at least 3 riders for the host to receive host credits and 10 riders for the co-host to receive host credits. Ride co-hosts may not be added for credit within 72 hours (3 days) before the scheduled ride time.
3. Credit is only given for rides led by a current VS club member. Rides hosted before club membership is renewed will not earn credit.
4. Credit is only given for rides added to the on-line Ride Calendar more than 72 hours (3 days) before the scheduled ride.
5. Credit is given only when hosts actually ride in the scheduled ride.
6. A substitute host may receive credit if the originally listed leader is unable to lead the ride.
7. Ride sign-up sheets must be received by the VS Office within 30 days of the ride date to earn rider leader credit.
8. A valid ride entails a minimum of three registered riders.
9. Ride Host Credit will be accumulated from January 1st to December 31st. Ride Host Credit will not carry over to the next calendar year.
10. One credit is given for volunteering for the Cinderella Classic & Challenge, Mount Diablo Challenge, and VS Race Team races.
