    Default FORC Sde Thrill Ride 2013 - Call for Volunteers

    The Thrill Ride is just three weeks away! Lets start organizing our volunteer efforts for the day. Post up if you are available to help out or are planning on leading one of the sub-efforts (Registration, Course Marshals, Course Setup/Teardown, etc) so people know who to get in touch with.

    I can course marshal all day after the novice race.
    Experiencing the world through second hand information isn’t enough. If we want authenticity we have to initiate it. We will never know our full potential unless we push ourselves to find it.

    Want a great spot to watch the FORC Side Thrill Ride? Sign up now to be a Course Marshal for the race! You will get a track side seat for all the excitement, dirt, sweat, flying bike parts, and a stylin walkie talkie! But wait, there’s more! In addition you will get the undying gratitude of FORC and about a thousand “hey thanks for doing this” from the participants.
    No experience is required. Course Marshalls monitor a section of the race course. They encourage the racers, watch for cheating (never happens) and report injuries or mechanical problems. It's really easy and kind of fun!
    We will need about 10-12 more people as marshals so please post up and reserve your spot. No need to sign up again if you alraedy posted. Let us know if you are racing and which race, so we don't schedule you to do both. You can help with 1, 2 or all the races… and unlike mustaches, boom boxes are encouraged.

    If watching the wheels go round n' round aint your thing. Volunteers are needed for Registration, Merchandise and Set Up/Clean Up. Please post up and give a little time so everybody can enjoy the day without working too hard.

    Calling all Patrollers! The Forc Side Thrill Ride needs your help. Let's get out the band-aids, coban and get ready to rumble. Let me know if you are available and willing to help. FORC puts on a great race, a great party and remember, 'It's OK we're MTB patrol'.

    Also Patrollers from all the area clubs. The Macomb Area MTBers have their race on Sunday 7/7/13, the Spring Lake Singletrack Classic, and are in need of a few MTB Patrollers to keep everyone safe. If you are available and want to help out this great club, contact Andy at the club website www.MACmtbc.org.
