    Default 2016 Thrill Ride (July 10) Call for Volunteers

    Calling all FORCers!! We need help! The race is a week from Sunday and as in the past we need a bunch of you fine folks to step up and lend a hand. We will need set up and tear down help, registration and merchandise sales help, and most important ( for me anyway) Course Marshals! If you would stand in the woods during a race or two and make sure everyone stays safe, I would appreciate it. You get to act important while wearing a stylin' yellow vest, and carrying a radio. Please respond on this thread if you can help. If you are racing let me know what cat. If you have a preference for which race(s) you can help with, let me know. A bunch of folks giving a little time can make it a great day for the volunteers as well as the racers, so step up and represent. Thanks

    STILL Calling all FORCers!! We STILL need help! The race is Sunday and as in the past we need a bunch of you fine folks to step up and lend a hand. We will need registration and merchandise sales help, and most important ( for me anyway) Course Marshals! If you would stand in the woods during a race or two and make sure everyone stays safe, I would appreciate it. You get to act important while wearing a stylin' yellow vest, and carrying a radio. If you haven't already, please respond on this thread if you can help. If you are racing let me know what cat. If you have a preference for which race(s) you can help with, let me know. A bunch of folks giving a little time can make it a great day for the volunteers as well as the racers, so step up and represent. Thanks

    I'll be there Saturday afternoon/ evening, Sunday morning and all day during the races to course marshal novice and sport class, as well as drink beer and tear down.

    Is there a plan to camp out at SBP Saturday night? I'm going to if so!

    I will be around all day. I signed up for marshaling at the meeting for novice/juniors and will be able to help setup and tear down and anything in between except for when I'm attempting to ride the comp class. I will have the recycle bins with me as well.

    Hey Course Marshals! Thanks to everyone that said they would help keep the course safe. Below is a list of who needs to show up when to keep the well oiled machine rolling. Anyone who didn't sign up but decided they could lend a hand, stop by the volunteer/first aid tent any time and we will give you an assignment. See you Sunday morning!

    Show up at the Volunteer/first aid tent at:
    8:15 – 8:30am
    JB, Gunchie, Bexter, Julie C, Neips, Nees, Kristen, Raoul, Juicy

    10:00 – 10:15am
    Ben D, Shane, Carol B, Add B, Alan H, Jacob S, Tina G,

    We will give you a radio, snazzy vest and a spot to rule over. Most folks will only need to marshal for 2 races and then you can get back to the festivities. Thanks again for helping.

    I appreciate the incentive given to this 46 yr. old dad on a 20 yr. old bike to run sub 20 minute laps in the novice race. Challenge accepted! Add B.
