Q&A
Can I help and cycle?
We offer all our volunteers the opportunity to ride our events for free. Depending on the role you would like to help with, we can either offer volunteers the opportunity to help for 2 hours in the morning and then ride the event that day - this will usually involve helping at Registration or with parking. Helping out for the day can cover many roles such as helping out at the venue or at a feedstation.
Do I need to be a cyclist?
Definitely not. We need friendly individuals to help at the start and finish, Feed stations, registration desks and marshalling. No Cycling experience is needed.
How much time will I need to commit?
This depends on what you will be doing. Our event is on a Saturday and Sunday involving an early start, but you can decide how much time you would like to commit. Some volunteers help out for a couple of hours while others stay for the whole day.
