Hi Guys,
Motorcycle marshals are required for a BWA event on Sunday 19th April, the Dams Challenge is considered one of the worlds 50th toughest cycle races with over 2500 cyclists expected to take part.
I'm looking for motorcycle marshals around 15 to volunteer their time for the day to help out with the event, it has been agreed that each marshal shall receive $70 each to reimburse them for their fuel for the day.
It's a great day out, starting at South Perth and with 2 races going on at the same time, the 3 dam and the 5 dam challenge.
We start early at 5.30 to be ready for the cyclists to leave around 6 am, coffee is available to wake you up if needed, there are water stops on route and a meal at the end.
The day runs for 12 hours so it's a long time in the saddle.
Please confirm if your interested or if you will be participating.
Thanks

I am there , as usual. It would be great to get a bunch of STs there, as it qould reduce the load a lot.

My thoughts exactly Brock, I know Pezzz and Wombat are interested but it would be great to see others there, if only for one event .

So at what age does this "old enough to know better" kick in?
I believe in the "hereafter", every time I go to the shed I have to think "what am I here after"

Yes I have committed or should that be committed to the marshalling.  :grin
Coffee to hear what is required instead of turning up with no idea  :eek
When Pezzz gets back from enjoying himself we may organize drinks

Which branch would you prefer, Mandurah is close to me but I don't mind meeting halfway, will Brock be attending?
It would be nice if some other riders who might be interested meet with us.

Mandurah is a bit far for a coffee, byt some where in the middle would be ok.

Would need to be next week end tho, as during the week is a bit hard as I work.. ( well I turn up anyway.)

Cockburn has a dome, doesn't it, that way we could meet around 5-6pm so you could meet up after work, just need to work out a day, when I get home my wife is away so I have to sort kids out. Probably best if we leave the day till when I get home, are we ok for venue and time?

Chris,

Basically,

we circulate around the course, looking for any one that may need assistance, mechanical or medical. With the dams challenge, the main problems are blown tubes (We carry spare tubes, tyres and CO2 cartridges ( rider gets billed for them later)) and dehydration and the odd bump and bruise. Hopefully we have an event free day. We should have extra water to carry for the dams.

There are basic first aid kits supplied, and reflective vest if you dont have one

Blood bikes (Peter) will let you know what you need to do, to register with BWA shortly I'm sure.

Its going to be a long day, departing river foreshore around 6AM, and returning around 6PM.

Hi wombat, Pezzz, Malcolm and Sir Chilly and anyone else's who's interested in helping out, BWA have asked that you go and register at the site below.

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/VZXN82P

This needs to be done ASAP.
