Revolutionary Ramble Volunteers Wanted - This Means You

The Rev Ramble is only (4) weeks away – – We have made significant progress over the last week but there is still work to do. In addition, I can use someone to work with me at the start point – welcoming riders and kicking off the event – just saying.

This is a key marketing event for the MAFW club – YOU can help make this a great success!

We all represent the MAFW club – – and your help is critical to the Ramble’s success. If you are not traveling or riding in the event it is strongly encouraged that you participate by assisting in this event.

There are openings before, during and after the event and do not require a specific skill.

We can definitely use some truck drivers to pick up food on Friday as well as delivery and pick up services during and after the event.

As of today, we still have a lot of positions that need to be filled. The most urgent are in the following areas:

Rest Stops
RVCC Site (the Rev’s new home base)
Safety (includes SAG support)
Food Svcs (includes food distribution and delivery)

IF you’ve already signed up as a volunteer – THANK YOU.

IF not, please take one minute to sign up ASAP

Family, friends, non-club members are all also welcome to volunteer – – please help recruit volunteers!

Regards

Pace	Minimum Average Speed	Description
A	18+ mph	Hard fast riding, few stops, slower riders will be dropped, frequent pace lines.
B+	17 mph	For very fit cyclists, slower riders will be dropped, leader rides at listed pace, occasional pace lines.
B	16 mph	For fit cyclists, terrain varies, up to 30 miles between rest stops. Leader sweeps no slower than 16 mph. BUT if there is a concurrent identical (same tour #, same start time) C+ ride, or the ride leader has posted “no sweep” in the ride comments, the leader rides a B pace and does not sweep.
