Moto volunteers needed in Mpls - fun gig!

[pinecone]

Hi, all -
I am the coordinator for the motorcycle escorts for the Life Time Fitness Triathlon in Minneapolis, MN this year. We are in need of a few more volunteer riders to help with transportation of race officials during the bicycling portion of the triathlon.

Riders will act as escorts for the race marshals who monitor the race to help keep it fair and safe. As an escort you will have a race marshal assigned to you and will be responsible for taking them around the racecourse. The course is laid out on parkways and scenic roads around south Minneapolis and St. Paul and is closed to all motorized traffic except yours. It is a fun and challenging experience and gives you a front row seat for watching a world class triathlon.

Requirements for volunteers include availability on the morning of Saturday, July 12th. You must be comfortable with carrying a passenger on a complex course and be able to maneuver around various obstacles. Larger touring, sport-touring and cruiser motorcycles are preferred for the comfort of you and the race marshal. Quiet exhaust is a must as the race is televised and loud exhaust disrupts the TV audio crews.

Interested riders should PM me with the following information: name, email address, phone #, T-shirt size and type of motorcycle.

That seems like it would be great fun.

Me on my motorcycle zipping around...everybody else working their butts off on bicycles.

I can't do it, but I would if I could.
