Bike event in New Paltz needs Volunteers

Call for Volunteers for the weekend of the 7-8th August:

The Wildcat Epic 100 is a 2-day mountain biking experience that will take place on the 7th and 8th of August, 2010 right here in our very own the Shawangunk Mountains. This event features two 50mile stages raced over 2 days. Competitors will ride a course beginning in the village of New Paltz, continuing through the challenging and uniquely beautiful Mohonk Preserve and Minnewaska SP, with the rail trail connecting these areas to fresh trails on apple farms in Gardiner and private single track in Williams lake.

We are looking for volunteers to help out on road crossings along the Rail Trail and be part of the logistics team for the event. You can volunteer for just one or both days and we will place you on the course to monitor road crossings during the event between Gardiner and Rosendale. All points are accessible by car or volunteers can even get a ‘Bikes That Heal/ bike and ride down to a designated road crossing on the Rail Trail.

From more info about the Wildcat event go to www.wildcatepic.com and volunteer details are below.

Please call me or respond to this email and we will get you signed up and send this email around to spread the word.

Thanks
Gunter
