Eastern Bloc Cycling Club

Awesome Pat. Cote family is looking forward to racing and volunteering!

Yeah it's gonna be cool, but the work has just begun. We'll have more details at the club picnic and I will be looking for volunteers.

It's only a coincidence that the picnic is at the home of the club's volunteer consigliere, but considered yourselves warned ;)

Pat,

Looking forward to volunteering and perhaps participating if yo make the course really, really easy!

Ron

Pat, signed up to race at 9am. Will plan to volunteer after my race. I will stay tuned for details. Thanks!

I'm helping Pat make good on his threat to recruit club members for volunteer spots. Let's show the CT Cycling Community why we keep taking home the Tokeneke Beer. Sign up for a Brodie Cross volunteer spot or two before the good assignments are taken!

Brodie Cross Volunteer Signup Sheet

Pat, Thanks! Yes would love to ride it. Let me know when you're doing some clearing. If I'm in town I'll come help. I signed up for course setup Friday. Looks like Eric is also on that shift.

Any camp fire experts out there? We have permission to use the fire pit to the right of the start finish area. Who knows, it might actually get chilly enough that a fire will be welcome! Also planning on an EBCC smores tent for the kids (of all ages). I have a portable propane fire pit, thinking hot coffee and cocoa also but I will need some chaperones if you are looking for a warm volunteer opportunity.

Hey everyone, we are a little over a week away and need to nail down some key volunteer positions. Jeff has set up the sign up sheet for us that you will find here

Brodie Volunteer Signup

Here are the descriptions for some of the key areas we need to fill:

    Volunteer Coordinator(1 person):  Oversees all remaining volunteers, explaining their position responsibilities and 
    providing support during their shifts. 


    Race Registration (2 people AM):  Man the registration table. Responsibilities are as follows: 

    Preregistered:

        - Confirm the racers name on their UCAC license (hardcopy or electronic).  

        - Obtaining racer signature on the reg form. 

        - Instruct the racer on number placement (numbers will be above the left pocket).   


    Day of registrations with a USAC license

        - Check license

        - Obtain signature on reg form

        - Take payment ($45 for adults, $25 for juniors)

        - Add the rider to the field roster (at the end, no callups for day of). 


    Day of registrations with a 1-day license

       - Obtain signature on reg form (same form, no carbon form used anymore).

       - Take a photo of the reg form (my ipad will be available) for USAC.

       - Take payment ($55 for adults, $35 for juniors which includes the $10 insurance charge). 

       - Add the rider to the field roster. 



    Parking (2 people 7-10, 2 people 10-2):  Direct cars from the main lot onto the former Brodie House lawn first.  
    Instruct drivers to park nose in to maximize available space.   In the main lot park cars in rows nose in keeping the access to the 
    Brodie House open.  
    Cars may be parked on the grass between the lot and the road nose in. 
    If the all parking around the lot and yard is used direct drivers to the additional parking along the beach access road off Niles Road. 

    Course Marshals (3 people 9-1, 3 people 1-4):  Monitor the follow locations to ensure that pedestrians do not enter the course.  

        - Berkshire hall access:  The course will pass in front of Berkshire hall but registration access will be set up to the 
          front porch of the hall.  The main crossing to the expo on the center grass will need to be manned. 

        - Beach access road where the course crosses at the skate park parking lot. 

        - Police dock access at the south end of the beach parking lot.  
          Boaters may need to cross the course to launch canoes and kayaks so make sure the course is clear before allowing access. 

Where are all the Wingbiter volunteers?! Did you guys not see the part about food and beer?

I can help in the morning Jim
