2022 Shredders Ride Group Application

Welcome to Shredders ride group application!

All applications are subject to approval. This is to be sure that: 

- everyone has a better chance to apply, rather than a rush to the gate

- participants understand the NON-instructional nature of this program (Please, please, please read the Shredders page on our website carefully) 

- participants are appropriate for the group (beginners not recommended) 

- Our SheShreds Cancelation Policy and COVID-19 procedures and plans have been reviewed

70 applications are available for 50 spots. If needed, we begin a 10 person waitlist. Once an application is selected, you will be sent a link for secure payment through the SheShreds website Member Area. All applications will recieve a response by April 9th, 2022. Selected applicants will be sent a link for registration and secure payment through the SheShreds website Member Area.  Folks with applications not selected will be contacted to ask if they would like to be placed on the waitlist (in the order that their application was recieved) until the waitlist has reached 10 people.  We dont take applications for this program after July 31st 2022. 

First ride of the year is May 4th and our rides go until end of September 2022. 50 participants will be split into 2 groups meeting at different locations each week (Group A and Group B). If you have a friend that you want to ride with, please include their name in your application so that we can group you together. 

Locations span from Terwillegar to Kinsmen to Goldbar, exploring the entire Edmonton river valley (and beyond - Fort Sasatchewan and Devon are also in the mix!) so a consistent form of transportation is required. Our rides vary in terrain from gravel, dirt, pavement and wood bridges and therefore hybrid or road bikes are not acceptable and a mountain bike is required (ridgid, hardtails and dual suspension mountain bikes are all fine). Leaders with first aid certification lead two ability groups (Cruisers and Zoomers) every week, starting and ending at the same location.

For example, on the same date: 

Group A: Emily Murphy Park,  Cruiser and Zoomer Rides

Group B: Strathcona Science Park, Cruiser and Zoomer Rides

It is our understanding that you have reviewed the Shredder program details and are aware of our ability groups, cancelation policy, COVID-19 procedures, and insurance coverage.

And buckle up! Our Shredders application is beefy (and with a 20 min timelimit) but we want to know all the important stuff to get you in the right place in our little bike squad! We recommend using a computer to fill in your application (rather then a phone).
