Adult Riders Program

Mission

Open to all adult riders ages 22 and over, the Adult Rider Program supports riders of all levels by providing access to education, volunteer opportunities, team challenges, camaraderie, and fun! The goal of the program is to increase rider participation not just as riders, but also volunteers. For just $35 per year, Area II Adult Riders gain access and discounts to clinics, participate in Area II team challenges leading up to the annual Adult Team Challenge at AECs, and build relationships through social events with other adult riders!
