Spring Cup Volunteers Needed 5/20

[TML]

Hello all!

Erik's Sping Cup race is coming up on Saturday May 20th at Salem Hills Park in Inver Grove Heights. This event is sponsored by Erik's Bike Shop and ran by volunteers from MORC. It is one of our greatest income sources each year as Erik's hands all the proceeds to MORC to go back into the trails.

It's a big event and in order to pull it off we need YOU!!

Here is a rough outline of volunteer opportunities. Feel free to respond and request a specific duty or if you'd just like to show up and be put to work, that'd be great as well.

Thanks!

Outdoor chore?

Everything will be Outdoors at this Spring Cup. This is Mountain Biking!!!!!

*Please take pity on us Mother Nature*

I'll also be posting specifics on job details next week.

[TML]

Still some opportunities for help-

If you have a little time in the afternoon, we could use some help from around 2:30 - 4:30 to help clean up and pack stuff away.

Parking help needed also, if you like telling people where to go. ;)

Still could use another person or so very early in the morning to assist with course marking and set-up. About 6:30 AM. You could leave by 8:30 . . .

Thanks to everyone that has volunteered so far. We're looking pretty good! :)

--Troy

[halls]

Troy, I can help between 2:30 and close . Count me in. I'am still deciding to ride or not. See you there.

[syntaxjunkie]

I'll be there, manning the MORC tent and pitching in where needed from open to close. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

[TML]

Thanks you guys!

I'll write you in.

[Wolfchimp]

I can be there at 6:30 am to help mark course Troy. I am thinking of racing SS but not sure yet, so I may be patrolling during the race instead, if they need me. If not, I could help out with something else. Just let me know!

[TML]

Thank you Porter! That'd be great.

[bike>>rider]

Troy,
My wife will also help with the registration packets on Wed. It was a conditional deal - if I was leaving to help, she was coming too! Looking forward to it - wish I could be there Sat.

Kurt

[jeffgude]

I need to back out of the course marking on Friday night. I will still pick up the sign, etc from Eriks and place at Buck. I will be available for the day on Sat.

[gopherhockey]

I haven't signed up for anything directly... I like to kind of show up and float wherever I'm needed. I'll most likely be there Friday as well.

[Panman]

Put myself and Katie (girlfriend) down for the 10-1 registration.

[TML]

We're looking good!!

Thanks you guys!

Jeff - No problem about friday. Thanks for taking care of the other stuff.

John - I'll put you down on the roaming list. Thanks.

Ryan - Great, glad you girlfriend can make it as well.

[jjrsds]

Post me for whatever Troy. I can be there the whole day on Saturday. Friday during the day I can help but I work at 4:30 pm.

[manual63]

and Katie (girlfriend)

Heh...heh...heh.....this could be fun. Are you sure you want her to come? She might learn more about you than you want her to know.....:D

[Panman]

Heh...heh...heh.....this could be fun. Are you sure you want her to come? She might learn more about you than you want her to know.....:D
Yeah, I've thought about that but she asked to go. We're going to avoid you as much as possible. LOL

[waitabit]

I was looking forward to volunteering but I have a stupid wedding to go to.People just never learn?!:confused:

I avoid Shad at all costs. :beard: You really need to worry about me and Mara and the time at the bar the one night in Fruita. :D

[Panman]

Oh great, never mind, I won't be there to help. Need to avoid the Fruita crew at all costs. -Joking

Anyway, for us volunteers, where would you like us to park? Directions?

[KleinCrazy]

Ryan,

Volunteer parking will be in the normal trailhead parking lot.

The Entrance road to the lot will be closed and parking will be at the direction of the volunteers working that, tell them that you are a volunteer and they should let you through to park up top.

James

[TML]

Thanks everyone for helping out. We really appreciate it!

I will try to send PM reminders to people but here is the basic info for Saturday.

Those coming for all day help or morning setup and registration. Come early if you are willing. We will begin setting up at 6:30 AM.

Volunteer Parking: Green star on the map. As James said, all volunteers should try to park at the main lot of Salem Hills Park, accessed from 55th. Registration setup will be through the ball fields to the east at Salem Hills Elem. School.

so do any volunteers (who then aren't riding/racing that day) want to ride after it's all over? (or will the trail be open for that?) Since I'm driving down there I figure I may as well bring my bike and maybe go for a ride since I'll be there if I can!

[syntaxjunkie]

I'll be bringing my bike. And assuming that the gut bug I've managed to pick up this week doesn't lay me any lower, I'll be itching for a spin.

Course marshals can also use bikes to get to the locations that we put them.

Plus course will be open for riding when the race is over until 10:00pm

Cannondale will have there demo-semi out for riding on the trail after the race also I think.

Demo rides during the race will only be allowed on asphalt.

James

[2BOutside]

sweet, thanks james. see you guys in the morning

[Burke]

See you out there.

[KleinCrazy]

See you out there.

I'm Up!!!

Be there Soon

[syntaxjunkie]

I'm awake, and concluding that being so at 5:00 a.m. on consecutive days is highly overrated. See you in a bit.

[jjrsds]

You seemed coherent to me, at least when I saw you this morning.
