Dear Volunteer Cyclists, I am contacting you because you have volunteered time in the saddle at the Mississauga Marathon and the Labour Day Oakville Half Marathon.

 

The Mississauga Marathon in 2009 is on May 9 & 10. Cyclists will be used on Sat evening to lead the 5K & 10K events. On Sunday cyclists will be used to lead the Marathon and Half Marathon. If there are sufficient riders we usually use bikes on the first three males and females. We double up on the first position on Sunday in the full and half events.

 

On Sat. riders would be involved from about 5PM to 7:00PM depending if you are doing the 5K or 10K event.

 

On Sun. riders would be involved from 6:45 AM to 10:30 depending if you are riding the full or half course.

 

If you would like to be involved in May, please respond to this email. Some of you have already indicated an interest but please reply to this email anyway.

 

As the time draws closer we will set up a ride through of the course probably on the weekend prior (May 2 or 3). If you have other bike contacts that may be interested please forward this email to them and they can send me a note.

 

When you reply please include a couple of phone numbers, what day or days you are willing to ride and if you are interested in acting as a captain for your event on race day. This basically entails making sure each rider has a safety vest, signage on their bike and a radio for the lead male & female.

 

I look forward to hearing from you even though it’s a little tough to think about riding this winter.
