TOKENEKE CLASSIC ROAD RACE...Volunteers Needed
The 2016 Tokeneke Classic Road race takes place Sunday, August 14th
The 2016 Tokeneke Classic Road race takes place Sunday, August 14th. Registration is now open at BikeReg.com. EBCC has been a huge contributor to this USA Cycling sanctioned event in recent years. We have committed a minimum of 15 volunteers...hopefully more. This also fulfills the USA Cycling requirement for EBCC to have the ability to race under our banner.
We need Volunteers to make this race happen. This race is in our back yard (East Hartland, CT) where many of us ride regularly. You can both race and volunteer as many do. We really need help from non-racers too. The club with the most volunteers gets 2 cases of beer. We won this last year for the 2nd year in a row!!
VOLUNTEER Registration just opened at our new Volunteers site: https://www.volunteersignup.org/9J8J9 to sign up and get your top choice of duty. Make sure you register as a member of EBCC so the club gets credit for your help.
We need help with lead car drivers, road marshals, registration table, feed zone, finish line & parking lot. Call or email me with questions... twern@comcast.net Thanks!!
I signed up at the URL you posted but I didn't see a place to affiliate myself with EBCC, so I am currently not contributing to any beer bonus.
Chris, thanks for posting. Forgot to add that field. Let me see if I can do it now.
Ok that seems to be a limitation on this Volunteer Website. Let me know when you signup. But try to put (EBCC) after your last name.
So I would register as Tim Wern (EBCC)
I will also do a cross reference with our member list at the end to make sure.
Thanks!
I didn't notice the part about the (EBCC) suffix until after my wife Veronica and I signed up for registration and lead car duty, but we're in for the day and hopefully earning some beer for the club. It's going to be a fun day!
Much appreciation for the support from Skip Slater, Eric and his friends at Center Subaru, and Aetna.
Ok, now only 10 weeks away from the Tokeneke Classic Road Race around Barkhamsted Reservoir!
We still need plenty of volunteers. Sign-up now and you will have a better choice of duties that suit your schedule.
Sunday, August 14th Here is the link...put "EBCC" after your last name when registering Thanks! https://www.volunteersignup.org/9J8J9 Volunteer Spot
We are still in need of drivers for the Tokeneke Road Race Aug. 14th. Pace cars, officials car and wheel support cars. There is a short credentialing process with USA Cycling so we would like to get these approved now. So please sign-up if you are able to drive one or more of the races. It's the best view of the race! Right in the action. Again here is the link Volunteer Spot
Thanks! Tim
All Volunteers for Tokeneke Road Race (Aug. 14th) will receive this snazzy Volunteer t-shirt (Anvil ringspun, very nice!) as well as a free lunch!
We also have some cool Tokeneke t-shirts and race jerseys for sale if you are interested. They feature sponsor logos from Slater Building, Center Subaru, Benidorm and, of course, Eastern Bloc. We were lucky to get a famous jersey designer to donate her time to create our products. She designed the current red & black BMC World Pro Team kits that many of you are familiar with if you watch the Tour de France or other UCI races.
Only 4 weeks to race day! Thanks to those signed up already to help at the Tokeneke Classic. Now looking for a bunch road marshals. Morning & afternoon spots available. Free t-shirt and lunch will be provided! Here is the link Tokeneke Volunteer Sign-up
Less than 2 weeks until the 2016 Tokeneke Classic Road Race in E. Hartland, CT. We still need a number of volunteers to pull this off.
All volunteers receive a $30 REFUND OF REG FEE (if racing or for a friend who is racing), a complimentary sandwich lunch, and a SWEET Tokeneke Classic Staff T-Shirt!
WE NEED COURSE MARSHALS! We are looking 6 morning and 6 afternoon course marshals to complete our marshaling squad. Click the link at bottom to sign up
UNLESS YOU WANT TO DRIVE! We have few pace and follow driving spots left to fill, so if want to be part of the race caravan consider signing up to drive here! Click here to sign up!!
Tim, Betsy and I just signed up for the afternoon course marshall's shift. See you out there. Good luck.
Hey Tim. We're looking forward to working this Sunday's race. In light of feedback that we've seen on the TOTLH , it would probably be a good idea to have a message sent out through Bikereg.com to all registered Tokeneke racers, stressing the importance of proper cycling etiquette. You know first-hand how easy it can be to loose a race venue.

Jeff Will do. Thanks! Always a good reminder. We still need 4 marshals for the Sunday morning time slots. We also have one opening at the registration table for late morning/early afternoon. Any more volunteers out there?
Great response from EBCC so far. Thanks! Sign Up HERE!
Just signed up for one of the morning marshal spots. Always wanted to be a marshal - like Matt Dylan. Do we get a badge and a six shooter?
NEED ONE MORE VOLUNTEER TO DRIVE THE MEN'S CAT. 3 WHEEL CAR at 12:45pm tomorrow (Sunday) Any help appreciated!!!
Also can still use 3 course marshals 8:30am-12noon. Free t-shirt & lunch to all volunteers. Call me if you can help! Thanks! Tim (860) 305-1225
