Become a Roadie with the Devon Coast to Coast Challenge 2012 Event

Each year as the ride grows, it requires more and more support from different people to ensure that it stays the great event you are used to.

To reflect the valued help given, this year we have created a new official role for volunteers- a ROADIE, with specific tasks and responsibilities.

Here are the roles we would like YOUR help with on the day. None will be too onerous, and will make a real difference to the success of the event.

In return, you will receive a rider goody bag AND a limited edition 2012 Roadie tee shirt to show off to all your friends!

Be part of the ride; to apply for a position, simply click 'apply here' at the end of the role you would like to apply for; it's that simple.

Thank you for joining our very own Green Army!

Roadie Coach

2 Required on each coach (so 6 people in total), to register the riders on the coach on the way down. FREE COACH PLACE FOR THESE PEOPLE! (If you have already paid for your coach place, then your fee will be refunded). This role will involve registering the riders on the coach whilst it travels to Looe, and issuing timing chips, to ensure that riders are ready to go when they arrive at the start, and therefore taking the pressure off of the registration point. ROLE FULFILLED

Already enlisted- Phil Beasant, David Hartnoll

Roadie Registration

5 roadies required at the start in Looe for 7am- 9am, to help with the rider registration. This will be to register the riders who have not travelled down on the coaches (approx 250), and will consist of registering riders, and issuing timing chips. 3 places left. APPLY HERE.
