• Marshalling
• People to sign riders in/out at the Ardshiel
• Check in points/Feed Stations at Keil Point, Kennacraig, and Carradale
• Sweepers, to follow cyclists through sections, by car or motorbike
• Putting up and taking down route signs (day before/after)
UPDATE:
We are someway to establishing the location of feed/water stations.
- Challenge Route, Dunaverty beach layby next to toilets. We have volunteers to run this
- Ultimate Route, Carradale, forum user 'Crowth' has negotiated use of the community fire station, so we will be able to use their toilets and have hot/cold drinks, we may need extra volunteers here as 'Crowth' is a member of the fire brigade and may have to 'pop out' if there is a callout!
- Ultimate Route , Clachan/Whitehouse, this is still under negotiation, will report back in due course.
Marshalling: We have offers of volunteers for marshalling, but we need more.
If you'd be interested in this, please contact us through
http://www.mokbike.com website or the PM function here.
Please tell us if you live on route and would like to just marshall/encourage riders through your own patch or whether you would like to be 'strategically placed' at a location where you could interact and make a difference?
Sweepers:Again we can probably do this with 2 vehicles, but 3 or 4 (or more) would be better,
Motorcycle/Car or Van -
Sweeper function, to follow the riders round the respective routes ensuring that check points/marshalls are free to close/go after last rider through. Encourage/Help riders with difficulties, stay with riders in an emergency situation.
• Putting up and taking down route signs (day before/after)If anyone could help me with this please get in touch, there is 'a plan' for the directional signs for the participants, but also a wider need for 'Slow down for Cycle Event' signs, particularly on the A83 between Kennacraig & Campbeltown, and B842 between Stewarton & Southend.
