21 March 2011 Meeting Minutes

First off, I hope everyone had a great Spring Break (filled with lots of riding I hope!).
A few things:

Albuquerque Race
The Lobo Classic is this weekend. The road race is on Saturday and the crit is on Sunday. Cedric has sent out a spreadsheet that requires those who are interested in racing to fill it out. If you are interested in Nationals it would be a good thing to make sure you are attending this race. If you have questions about qualifying for Nationals, Ben or Erin are great people to ask.

Oro Valley Ironkids
We are looking for 15 volunteers for the Ironkids race held up in OroValley. If we can get 15 volunteers, Ironkids will donate money to a charity of our choice. The race is on April 9th and their is packet pick up the 8th.This is a great opportunity! The event is well run and a lot of fun for not only you, but for the kids too! If you are interested contact either Maddie or Ben!

Bike to Work Day

Bike to Work Week is the week of April 4th this year. UACycling has always had a prescence on the Mall for a Bike Fix-It / Bake Sale. This year is no different. We will be on the Mall Wednesday, April 6th. We will be looking for Volunteers and Baked Goods. So if you can help with either, let Maddie know!

Bike Swap
Bike swap this year is April 17th. So mark your calendars and UACycling plans on having a table out on 4th. We are looking for donations of bike parts or miscellaneous bike stuff. If you have anything to donate, bring it to our next meeting and we will begin a collection for the GABA bike swap. If you have any questions just shoot Ben an e-mail.

UA Crit p/b UMC

Hello everyone!

Our race is this weekend, February 26th.

If you would like more information about the race here is the race bible: http://uacycling.com/2011Bible.pdf

WE NEED VOLUNTEERS!!!
Registration help - Good for those with organizational and customer service skills :) You are running the pre-race check in process, receiving payments, and preparing the starts lists. One volunteer will be in charge of organizing prizes, and posting results post-races. We need 5-3 volunteers at the registration table starting as early as 5:45am.

Course Marshals - Your primary job is to keep pedestrians, bicyclists, spectators, and motor vehicles off the course. While we will have 2 UAPD officers on site and 3 PTS enforcement staff to aid in keeping the course closed (along with barricades and signs), it's still important that we are out there. Each course marshal station will have a chair, radio, and safety vest. You will need to use the radio if there's a crash on your corner to alert the EMT on site. We need up to 9 volunteers working as course marshals from 7:00am-5:00pm.

Announcers - We have a PA and sound system thanks to Guitars, Etc that needs to be put to use. If you're comfortable announcing races (or would like to give it a try), please help us out in this area.

Race Set-up - For those of you who enjoy your early mornings...please help sweep corners and set-up before the race. We probably need 2 volunteers to help with this from 5:00am-7:00am.

Race Tear-down - There has usually been plenty of people around to help--so I'm banking on that again this year. Thanks everyone for the help last year!

ASU Crit Tomorrow

Good luck to everyone racing in the ASU crit tomorrow, 2/20.

Meeting Minutes 14th of Feb.

Hey everyone!

ASU cycling crit is this weekend! We have Cedric coordinating how we are getting up there and if you have paid the race team, Cedric will register you. He will be creating a google doc spreadsheet to organize who is going, and what is going to happen this weekend.

UofA crit is the weekend after ASU. Please watch your e-mails for volunteer schedules/meeting/ect. We will be paying your entry fee in exchange for volunteer hours. So again, keep your eyes/ears on the lookout for e-mails with more detail for this.

If you raced last weekend, you will be comped at the next meeting. We will be covering your race entry fee if you have paid the race team membership. You will only be reimbursed the fee of the race, if you have a late fee that will be covered by you.

Finally our next meeting will be February 28th in the Northern Conference Room at 6.30pm. Hope to see you all there!!
