The race has been confirmed and will be happening in Ville Saint Laurent

An EPIC 5 corner criterium, with one 180 degree turn.

I am making an open call for volunteers to be there the day of the Race.

We need people to stand on corners, direct traffic, run the registration booth, flip burgers, sell drinks etc.

There will be no 50 or 75% signup. We need to be able to count on people. We will assign people jobs as we get closer and have a better idea of what needs the most man power.

We are also looking for a few to be responsible for groups of volunteers (Traffic, Food, Registration etc). The time commitment will be larger and include meetings every week leading up to the race. PM me and Scott if you feel up to this task.

I'm hoping for a swarm of eager people.

Adam.

I am currently slated to work the weekend of the 27th and 28th. I'm done my shift on the 28th at 8am, I need sleep, but I'll try my best to show up mid-day (don't count on me).

Same as victoria, I wish I could be there, but I'll be out of the country as well.
I hope everything goes well, and hopefully i can help with the one next year.

I'll be racing, but as far as volunteering is concerned, only if it doesn't interfere with my photographing.

I believe that everybody who has volunteered has been contacted by AndrewG, and will be receiving assignments from him soon. If you have never talked to Andrew and would still like to volunteer send him an email marked for volunteering at our mcgillcycling@gmail.com account.

Thanks to all of you ahead of time. It is not possible without the support of the team.

Adam.

What time do you need to be there for? I estimate it should take around 50 minutes.

Actually, I'll be riding down the other side of the mountain. Way easier for me. I'll be leaving my place (ridgewood) around 6:30am.

If someone sees this on time and can bring me an umbrella, i'm sure the camera would appreciate it.

I'm going to give a short shout-out to everybody who came to this race.

Racers, you kicked ass for ignoring the weather and grinding out some great races.

Volunteers, you were superb doing everything that made the race function.

St. Jean Ambulance, you bandaged up our crashed rider so well. Awesome.

FQSC, we got you your tables... eventually. Next year's series will be even better organized. Thank you for coming out.

Ville Saint Laurent, you were amazingly helpful closing the roads. You made the race possible.

Till next year everybody.

Adam Bouchard.
