We love our OYCA sweeps and rovers!! And apparently, so do other teams! We received the following message from a Bingham parent, and we couldn’t be more proud of how our ride leaders represent!! But we’ll let this email tell the story better than we could: Hello OYCA ❤️
I hope your riders all had a great race yesterday! I wanted to express my thanks to one of the parent volunteers from your team who was sweeping for the JVA girls group yesterday. My daughter is in JVA and rides for Bingham High School. She had a pretty awful thing happen right as she was heading to staging for her wave and she struggled during her race. The ride sweep from your team stayed with her, talked with her, asked her questions to help get her out of her funk, and joked with her. She finished the race, and back at the pit zone she told me how much the sweep’s help mattered while she was out there digging deeply.
It sounds like you’ve got a great organization down in Orem and I just had to pass along my appreciation for the culture you’re creating and especially for a dad who knew how to be present for my struggling kid when there wasn’t anyone else around to help her. I’ll be keeping a special eye out for any riders (especially if they are from Orem) who might need a hand so I can return the favor.
Thanks again,
Bingham Rider’s Mom
