I think I'll go see if they need motorcycle SAG riders. Or do you want me waterbearing for you alone? Hmm. No SAG rider option.

W00T!

they do have volunteer opportunities. I saw that all over the 2008 website. But I will be hoping to get a few roadies of my own. One of the really critical things support folks can do is relieve me of gear. I have to prepare to bike through snow, sleet AND blistering heat. From what I've read, the blistering heat happens at the end. So having someone take possession of the cold-weather gear so that I don't have to tote it through the 100F + hot head-wind zone would be awesome.

plus water - gatorade - moleskin - replacement tubes - sunscreen - blistex - spare socks - PB&J

yay! I'm so excited. I'm like this super-ball of energy zipping around the place.

One important thing you need to do is train your pit crew to change a tire if needed. Everything else is basically a hand- off.

Come to the Darkside and all will be well!

I am so down to be your roadie! When do the tire changing lessons commence? =D

I will provide Death Raven Roadie training workshop on how to change tires, help me apply moleskin, and do first aid. Maybe we can call you guys the "bone pickers". LOL...
