Rule #3: Never volunteer!

Not that I ever listened to that rule. In fact I was on my radio talking with K7EAJ to make sure that I had everything working when he asked me if I wanted to help out with an event. So I agreed and tonight I went to the WCCCA center to attend the training/planning meeting. Next Sunday I'll be on Bald Mountain manning one of the rest stops for the LIVESTRONG Ride.

I've volunteered to help out on other bike rides before but this one is huge. They stopped the registrations at 3,500 riders. I'll be stationed at the first rest stop on the 100 mile loop and the event organizers expect 1,800 riders to take this loop. It's going to be quite busy Sunday morning. ;)

I'm excited that hollyqueen is be volunteering to help out for the same event. We won't be in the same location but I like the fact that we're both doing our part to help. Let's just hope that she doesn't need to be at her station at 5:30am. I don't look forward to a cranky mouse at 5am on a Sunday morning. The riders don't leave the starting point until 7:30am so I shouldn't need to be at my location any earlier than that.

Because of the huge number of riders and the additional tasks I have to do during the event I don't know how many pictures I'll be able to get but I'm going to take the camera and try to get at least a few.
