Code of Conduct

We are incredibly excited to support youth cycling and get more kids on bikes. The Dawg Days of Summer is all about encouraging kids to do their very best. They are brave. They are courageous. They are strong. Bring those cowbells, noise makers and invite family and friends...we can’t wait to cheer for each and every one of them!

Fun Zones: There will be a temporary tattoo station, face painting and bouncy house at the base of the hill. It’s going to be a great day!
