Join the Roger C. Peace Adaptive Sports and Wellness Center on their weekly UCAN bike ride! Accompany adaptive bike riders as they embark on the trail, keep them company during the ride, and create new connections in the Greenville community. You will be paired 1-on-1 with an adaptive athlete and will ride alongside them on a standard bicycle (bring your own if you have one). There are varying skill levels and you will be paired with a rider based on your desired ride time/distance. The recreational therapists will ensure you know everything you need to know about the bikes and your paired rider before you begin.
After responding to this opportunity on Campus Connect, download and create an account on the MindBody app so the staff knows to expect you there. Search for the Roger C. Peace Adaptive Sports and Wellness Center and sign up for the Volunteer - UCAN Cycling slot you want to attend. If it is your first time volunteering with them, email Conner (conner.magar@prismahealth.org) or Grace (elisabeth.nance@prismahealth.org) at least 5 days prior to receive training instructions.
This opportunity recurs every Monday from 1-2:30pm from October-March at 157 Welborn Street Suite B101, Greenville, SC 29601 (inside The Commons at Unity Park). Starting in April, the rides will move to every other Thursday evening. These rides are service learning approved for IPM!
If you have any questions or need help with the MindBody app, feel free to email Lauren (palmaril@email.sc.edu) with any questions or concerns. Thanks for signing up, and have fun!
