Take care of team roller skis

After skiing on wet or muddy roads, wash off road grime while it is still wet and easy to clean. A brush, bucket and hose (just for filling the bucket) are conveniently provided in the team room.

Do NOT immerse the wheels in water, or you can do the dissassembly and grease job.

Clean the bindings well, and clean the soles of your boots so you don't grind them down with the road grit. A squirt of spray silicone or other nasty persistent chemical lubricant will also help the binding. (The same stuff on your boot soles keeps them from building up snow in wet snow conditions)

Before each ride, check the wheels roll nicely and the bolts are tight.
Check the bindings are well fastened.
Pay the Team Treasurer if you are borrowing team skis.
