2008 Collegiate National Championships
Dear Fun-loving bicycle enthusiast,
Would you like to win a sweet, vintage Raleigh single speed Grand Prix? The Co-op has one for you!
The Bike Co-op has committed to finding 80 community volunteers for the National Collegiate Road Cycling championships Friday, May 8th. We'd love to have you join us! If you've never seen a big road race like this now's your chance to see these young athletes race. And did you know that CSU has the Overall National Collegiate Track champion cyclist, Dan Lionberg. Dan will be racing May 8, 9 and 10. Come out and support him!
This message will serve to let you know the opportunities for volunteers both Friday the 8th and Saturday the 9th (when we need fewer volunteers).
Before you read on, though, check out the 84 prizes we'll hand out to our volunteers by drawing.
Action Requested to volunteer for May 8 & 9:
1) Please fire back a response to this message to Rick@ExperiencePlus.com (leave the subject heading the same)
2) Indicate WHICH time slot you can volunteer in either Friday or Saturday.
3) If you can help Friday AND Saturday - all the better!
4) Can you recruit a friend to join you? Please send this message to them or send me their contact info and I'll send them this message (you might check with them first, but I'd love to include them in future messages).
5) Thank you again!
What's in it for you? Besides, of course, the pride of helping to build our local bike culture you'll have the chance to win the following for volunteers only:
- Sweet Raleigh single speed fun commuter bike from the Bike Co-op (or trade it in for a cruiser . . . )
- Two Poudre River half-day rafting trips
- Hotel nights in Colorado
- And much, much more
Friday May 8th:
This is the beginning of the National Collegiate Road Cycling Championships and includes four road races throughout the day beginning at Hughes Stadium. Volunteers will be marshalling the race, making sure the road is safe for cyclists. The Air Force ROTC unit at CSU will cover most of the critical spots on the route. So we are responsible mostly for the Hughes Stadium area, Overland Trail and the north dams section of the course during the following times:
Time slots when we need help (PLEASE NOTE: Slots may change slightly - we'll keep you posted):
7:15 - 8:45 a.m.
10: 15 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
12:45 - 2:30 p.m.
IF YOU CAN DO TWO SLOTS all the better!
