hey everyone, This weekend is the annual Henry Clay 30K at Coopers Rock. This race is promoted by Gunnar Shogren and is part of the West Virginia Mountain Biking Association series. If you have not done much, or any, mountain bike racing, this is a great opportunity to get some good experience before the collegiate season starts. It is not that far out of town and a car pool could most likely be arranged if there was enough interest.
The main reason I am posting however is to try to find some volunteers to help out with the race. Volunteers are always needed at things like this to marshal turns and crossings, hand out water to racers at aide stations, and just be of general help to the promoter. Starting this season, all club members will be required to complete a number of team service hours before they will receive their club cards that give them access to all of our deals and discounts. By helping out with the race this weekend, you would be able to get a good head start and accumulate around 5 hours before the first meeting! I am posting the info from Gunnar below along with contact info but if you are interested in helping out or participating and are new or not familiar with Gunnar feel free to email me or post below and I can get you set up with instructions, directions, and a ride if needed. Cant wait to see everyone next week and hopefully see some faces, new and old, out at Coopers Rock this weekend. Fast approaching. The beast that just won't die. 24th Annual!! http://gshogren.freeshell.org/Coops/ http://gshogren.freeshell.org/Coops/2011_race.html Link to the course description and GPS of it is on there. Hopefully the iPlay site will be updated soon as well- http://www.iplayoutside.com/Events/2011/08/13232.html Need any more info?
