PM me if you are keen to join this fantastic event.
This is separate from the BMW Bike mounted sector marshals.
Whatever your bike, you will be providing a service many will be grateful to accept.
A great initiative. While marshalling I spent a lot of time repairing punctures. One lady did not even have a pump, let alone patches etc. Another declared that it was not the tube that caused her tyre to be flat, because she had just put in a new one.
Even if you are not particularly technical, just having the right equipment will make a big difference - and if the cyclist doesn't know what to do, there will be others who do and will help. If you are familiar with bicycles you will be a hero on the course.
Awesome Idea
What a great idea - Last Year I also spent a lot of time helping cyclists repair punctures etc. It's a super way of interacting with the riders and immersing yourself in the camaraderie of this epic race.
Thanks to the six riders roadside assist marshals who stepped up to the plate.
Have an absolute Blast.
You will receive more instructions shortly by email.
Thanks Geoff for being the first to respond.
Hi Andy, I am available to help.
