water tower volunteers

10 Comments

so the water tower challenge is on next weekend and we are looking for volunteers to man the feedzones.  there are four main areas that need help, but as the event progresses, some people can move on from one spot to the next.

  1. start line – 4 people (due to size of the tent)
    1. set up tent, banners, start lists, maps
    2. register teams and hand out race stickers (for helmet)
    3. start teams according to the start times
    4. pack up tent, etc after last team is away
  2. feedzone 01 (60kms) – 4 people (due to size of the tent)
    1. set up tent, banners, table, food, drink.
    2. check off teams as they come through the feedzone
    3. hand out food and drink
    4. pack up tent, etc after last team has passed
  3. feedzone 02 (110km) – 2 people (due to size of tent)
    1. set up tent, banners, table, food, drink.
    2. check off teams as they come through the feedzone
    3. hand out food and drink
    4. pack up tent, etc after last team has passed
  4. finish line – 2 people (set up at DOME)
    1. check off teams as they finish
    2. hand out coffee/drink vouchers
    3. provide computer for people to download to STRAVA
    4. congratulate teams as on a job well done

so there you have it.  the jobs are not that strenuous and the main aim is to ensure that each of the teams have passed and have been offered their food/drink.  it is envisioned that some of the start line volunteers can head to feedzone 01 after all the teams have started.  We have a volunteer who lives close to the vines that can man feedzone 02, but he will need a buddy.  put your name into the comments to let me know if you can volunteer and what you will be capable of doing.  thanks for making an event like this possible.

  1. Hey Pete

    I’m gonna have to pass on the the ride. Still getting my knee sorted out, but happy to be a volunteer.

    Start line / feed zone 1 would be my preference.. Could also bring my laptop down to DOME for STRAVA uploads…

  4. Really sorry to do this to you pete, but because of my stupidity, I thought this event was on sat not sun and so I have planned my whole weekend around sat morning and I cant change it all now. Real sorry to pull out, I was keen to help 🙁

  5. My better half may be able to help out. I reckon if I shouted her a Dome Westralia Plaza coffee she’d put her hand up for some something (especially the finish at Dome with her computer available for Strava uploads)
    If volunteers are still needed somewhere please let me know.

  6. Hey Pete, Ali, Amanda and I can probably help out at the finish….wave all the looooooooooooosers in 🙂
    This one’s for you horse head!

  7. Me being at feed zone 02 with Jonny should be an excellent incentive for those riding to get there mega quickly .. coz we’ll be tucking into the grub ourselves. We’ll do our best to leave you a few crumbs ;0)
