Volunteers/Sponsors
We are trying to make this one of the premiere cycling events in the country. We are
making sure that we do all the things right for a successful event that people will want
to come back every year. With a total staff of only three people (all of which working full
time), things can get kind of hectic. One of the things we are doing is hiring pre-reg to
run registration, results, and number handout. After many years of racing bicycles, we
recognize this is the number one thing that makes it easier on you. That is our number
one goal, to give you an event that is easy for logistics, but tough for the course.
To make things safer for everybody we are looking for volunteers for a few
intersections and for the rest areas. If you have somebody that wouldn't mind
volunteering we will pass along a free entry into the event for you! There are 5 total
rest areas including the one at the finish (1 rest area is used twice). We are looking for
2 volunteers per rest area just to supervise the area (you won't have to make
sandwiches or anything :-P)
Most of the roads are very traffic free, but there are a couple of busier intersections.
The rules of the road apply!! Do not run through stop signs or go through the one
traffic light if it's red. There will be a couple intersections that have police support. You
are on the open roads though, please exercise safety first!

would like to donate a food product, we would love to have them available at all our
rest areas (hundreds of hungry cyclists all trying your product, can't get better than
that).
