How To: Event Support Riders

TOP GOALS

  • Serve as a friendly ambassador for the event to all.
  • Take care of the back of the event.  The last riders need the best support.
  • Communicate well with the Course Manager.
  • Be safe and have fun on the event.

WHEN TO CONTACT THE COURSE MANAGER

  • Text Name and Rest Stop name when you arrive at each rest stop and the finish.
  • Dangerous sections of the route.  SAGs have brooms.
  • Rider who needs mechanical or medical support – SAG vehicles can be there in 15-30 minutes.
  • ASAP when you arrive on a scene that needs 911 support.

WORKING WITH EVENT RIDERS

  • Be a good person to all riders who are struggling, have mechanical issues or injuries.  You are the first face of the event they see when they are at their lowest.
  • Support them to the best of your expertise and then call in SAGs.
  • Last riders will be pressured to keep moving, but let’s make their time as enjoyable as possible.
