For those of you who won't be racing, trail ambassadoring, or patrolling on Sylvan Is. that morning: If anyone can help us at the bike transition area, we desperately need it. It was just announced that a certification test that we need to take will be that day in Ames. (they did not set the date until they knew the Hawkeye/Cyclone schedule!?!) We are able to use Jeff Castro's bike racks, and need someone to set them up race morning, direct transition traffic, and tear them down afterward. We have the signage and set-up template. Last year we had 4 people, 1 at each entrance/exit, and a 'floater'. If you would have a way to get the racks from Bettendorf and then back after the race, that would be great also, otherwise we will have to get a plan for that. There are 24 racks, and they easily fit into the full size van that we were able to borrow last year.
thanks. Karen
