This thread has been viewed over 1000 times. What people need to know is that it take 3 things to make a race happen. Ridiculously passionate [HTML_REMOVED] devoted organizers, interest from racers and volunteers. Without all three things happening at the same time, its just a bunch of us standing around in the bush.
Gary and Steve definately fit the bill for passinate and devoted race organizers. If one only knew half the time they have put into the prep so far this year, you'd be amazed.
Racers that pre register let the organizers know that they efforts aren't for not. And to all you fair weather racers out there, without the pre reg interest, races wont happen. (read Arduum)
Lastly is volunteers. This year, the need for vollies is top of the list. Bear Mountain Challenge has the orgization behind it and there should be plenty of racers to rip the course, but there is a need for Vollies. Without course marshals, it will be hard to hold a race.
If your broken and cant race, or your bike is broken and you cant race, or you just want to be apart of the action, becoming a Vollie is the easiest way to still take part. Plus there is always beer at the wrap up parties.
Volunteering insure that the future of racing will carry on. Post here or PM Gary if you can come out and help.
Vollie Vollie Vollie, Oi, Oi, Oi!
