The L&C cup has been moved to the 22nd. But there is Masters race tomorrow anyway. Run by Charlie.
thanks - i e-mailed him off board.  whoever is ye owner of ye google doc might want to update
Bump.

Need folks for Reg and probably a marshall manning construction zone for Sunday.
Jim, I'll try and get there earlier and help an the reg desk with you.
I'm out the next 2 weekends - sorry folks. See you in July.....
Anyone interested in marshaling? It is particularly needed in the construction zone.
Thank you to everyone who volunteered today!
Especially those who give time and again even though they're not racing (Nelson, Zolan, etc).
Attempting a bit earlier this week to make sure we have the necessary volunteers for this coming weekend's L&C race. As of right now there are none. We need both registration help and someone to marshal. The marshal captain's duties are slightly different than described below because of the road construction. Instead of roving the park, you'll be stationed at the construction site making sure that other cyclists and joggers aren't entering the racing lane. You also get to act like a Grenadine during the tour waving a flag overhead to make sure the peloton avoids the barrier separating the joggers lane from the racing lane.

After reading the job descriptions, please sign up for a shift or three through this link:

(Please let me know if there are any technical difficulties accessing the spreadsheet.)


Registration Volunteer:

Arrive at Prospect Park by 5:15AM. Enjoy your coffee while checking USAC licenses and registering riders for the race. Once registration is closed, you can hop on your bike and race. If you do this job, you race for free.

Marshal Captain:

Arrive at Prospect Park by 6:00 AM. Get acquainted with the marshals and take note of their positions in the park. Once races start, ride slowly around the park, checking on the course marshals and making sure everyone has what they need. Serve as a communication link with Charlie I. Once the race is finished, let the marshals know they are done and return to the start finish. If you do this job, you race another race for free.
Bump.
bump, bump.
Signed up.
BTW, thanks Charlie!

3.      We start at 6AM, registration closes at 5:50AM.  Please show up on time.  The registrars are all Kissena Cycling Club volunteers who also race.  They need at least 10 minutes themselves to get ready to race.  It’s not fair to them when you arrive 2 minutes before the race and they have to register you.
Bumpity bump for R&A this Saturday.
Bump for L&C tomorrow.
sorry folks - i'd be there but i'm down in north cackalacka for the week. 

Heads up.. nothing official from Charlie, but for this Sunday's Kissena Spring Classic, we will probably need volunteers to help out at registration. So if anyone can show up a little earlier than start time, it'll be appreciated.
can't make it this weekend, but once y'all have a volunteer sheet up, i'll try to turn out to do some marshaling/registration this spring once it warms up a bit....
The first L&C cup race is this Saturday and we need volunteers to help out with registration. This is  kissena Club sponsored race so we need to help out Charlie.

Please post if you can help. I'll get a sign up sheet going in a bit but I wanted to get out this message first.
Volunteer sign up sheet here:  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DR-DoMjzQaKlk7F7KYQbxTxHJTDEy--jCs-gIa-G8pI/edit?usp=sharing

Please sign up where you can. This is for both the L&C cup and R&A race series.
Update - I just confirmed with Charlie that if you help with registration, you race for free. 

Please Help out.
I'm in Philip
Someone pencil my name in for the 1/2/3  didn't realize Charlie was closing online reg 2 days out this year...I doubt 36 cat I/II/III's will show...but it can't hurt to put the fix in...
Yacks
Thanks Sean.

Thanks to the volunteers who worked registration table this morning. I always want to help/race for free, but as it is now, for me to get to the race on time, I have to set my alarm for 4:30am. #northernmanhattanproblems
signed up for marshal/registration duties for a few races in may.  will be back to take a few more slots june-august once summer plans shake out.  
Signed up to volunteer Saturday 18th , what time should i get there 
Folks - apologies for late notice.  Our kids' AYSO soccer schedule has been updated and it's not kind for marshaling races or manning the KOM spot.   A slew of early morning games means I'm not going to be able to do anything this month.   Spreadsheet is updated to reflect where I had to drop out....
