WE ARE ALL ONE - Volunteer

Volunteers Get a Partial Fee Waiver

By volunteering to join the ride crew you can get a partial fee waiver and still be able to do some riding. For example: two riders can ride and volunteer, each riding a day. If you don't want to ride but wish to accompany your riding family or friends, volunteering might be a great option. This entitles you to camping and showers, map and cue sheets, rest stop refreshments and a T-shirt.

Here are some of the volunteer positions available:

Rest Stop Volunteer

Help set up rest stop and distribute, food, water, Gatorade and snacks to the riders at the rest stops.

Sag Driver

Use their own personal vehicle to support riders. No matter how experienced a cyclist might be, there are times when sag support is needed because of mechanical failure or physical fatigue. Volunteers must have a dependable vehicle with space to carry several riders and bikes and room to carry water containers Includes gas reimbursement.

Medical Volunteer

Medical volunteers agree to address rider questions and concerns. Must be a medical professional

Registration

Help is needed to make registration as efficient as possible. Volunteers work a 2-3 hour shift on Friday August 15 from 4:30-7:00 pm at the Silver Bay Sports & Recreation Center or Saturday August 16 from 9:00-10:30 am at Gooseberry Falls State Park.

Remember: SAFETY FIRST!

Site Coordinator

Act as hosts for one day during the tour help set-up the camping site, assist in the clean up, staff the information table and are available to help direct riders and answer questions.

Safety Monitor

Safety is our first priority. When possible we will use state police, local sheriffs, and MNDOT to help us through major intersections. It’s intersections that don’t appear dangerous, a blind curve on a steep downhill, cyclists drafting or following too close that have the potential for serious accidents. Monitors are there for the cyclists, not the motorists. They warn you to be cautious about various route conditions and thereby help cyclists have a safe ride. The monitors generally cover an assigned place for 1 ½- 2 hours each day. Monitors usually bike the entire route each day. There is a need for non-biking monitors as well.
