The Rocky Mount Red Cross is organizing a ride (fund raiser) for May 8, 2010. Eric Seale from the RMEC is going to help with the route, route marking and the distribution of fliers. The committee is looking for some volunteers for helping with the organizing and maybe even on event day. This is also a great way for the runners in our club to get a fun "low-stress" introduction to bike riding.Submitted By: Eric Seale
I attended a meeting last evening for the Red Cross ride that has been on hiatus since 2004. They are trying to re-start the ride. I did the ride in 2003 or 2004 and it was quite well run. I am going to be helping with setting up / marking out the courses and with flier distribution. The committee is looking for people who would volunteer to help now with the organization and possibly during the event. I know that they need someone to help with organizing the food for the start, finish and SAG stops at the moment - I believe that Judy (overall organizer) has some contact information to help.
The event is scheduled for May 8, 2010. It will start from the parking lot by the Dunn Center. There will be a 1 mile fun ride for families around the campus, a 19 mile ride and a metric century (63 miles).
If you think you would be interested in volunteering for helping with Corporate sponsorship, SAG support, goodie bag stuffing, flier distribution, registration, or donations, please let me know and I will pass along your contact information to Judy or Kristin.
I am coordinating the corporate challenge part of the ride. RMEC could get up a group of 10 riders and only pay a $25-30 entrance fee a piece. Let me know if someone is interested in coordinating a group from RMEC. There will be a fun 1 mile ride, 1/2 metric century and metric century.
