We will need volunteers on these days:

Saturday Nov 23 :  Course Setup @ 12:30.  Following the direction of the course designer(s): set up tables, barriers and help with taping out the course. Many hands make light work, so, more the merrier. If you bring a bike you may even be able to have a course pre-ride.

Sunday Nov 24 : RACE DAY!  Many positions are required on Race Day: registration, timing, fixing course tape, direct vehicle traffic and other miscellaneous chores.  Some of these position require morning and afternoon volunteers.

Sign up here!
