If you have specific questions about our policies, please reach out to us at info@gritclinics.com. We are happy to assist you.

All attendees are responsible to stay up to date with their local and statewide Covid-19 travel policies. Please plan only to attend your scheduled lesson if you can observe all regulations set forth by your local jurisdictions. 

Social But Safe
We are all about making your mountain bike journey fun! Our new safety procedures mean that you can attend a Grit Clinics with peace of mind. Our staff is excited to welcome you and is doing everything possible to keep you happy and healthy during your lesson.
​
Our COVID-19 Protocols
In order to protect the health and safety of all Grit Clinics staff and participants, we ask that you notify us immediately, and plan to stay home if you feel ill or are exhibiting any of the following symptoms: Fever, chills, cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion, runny nose, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea

PRE-LESSON PLANNING

• We are working with the local communities and government agencies to abide by the most current local COVID-19 protocols.
• In group clinic settings, participants will be assigned a group with no more than eight participants and two coaches.
• Lessons will occur in open outdoor areas with social distancing measures in place so that you can enjoy the experience safely.
• Our internal protocols are being updated regularly to make sure we're always up-to-date with the latest information and safety measures

NEW STANDARDS FOR HYGIENE

• Masks are required when a distance of six feet can not be maintained. When at a lesson, in larger group settings, on chairlifts, in shuttle vehicles, and briefly while passing others on a trail, have your mask on. 
• All demo equipment is disinfected after every use
• If food and snacks are included in your lesson, they will be provided in a safe and sanitary manner so that they are only touched by the recipient of the food.

​

SELF-MONITORING and SOCIAL DISTANCING

• All staff are trained in how to self-monitor for symptoms.
• If a participant shows up with signs of sickness, we will ask them to seek medical attention and not attend the lesson.
• Do not shake hands, high five or hug. It’s tempting, but please keep the minimum distance.
• Social distancing will be maintained whenever possible, according to the recommendations of the CDC of six feet.
• Coaches will guide each participant to perform their own bike and equipment check. In the event that a coach needs to touch a student’s bike to help with set-up or repair, they will do so at a safe distance from the participant and sanitize properly before and after.

GOVERNMENT APPROVED

• Our safety standards exceed the recommendations of the World Health Organization and CDC.
• All of our partners and venues are operating to the highest standards outlined by local authorities and are verified by Grit Clinics prior to the lesson.

Our cancellation policy reflects the uncertainty of the times:
We have adjusted our cancellation policy for 2021 to better accommodate the mandates and changes that may affect your ability to attend a lesson. Should you need to cancel, your options are based on how far in advance your cancellation request is received.
