Volunteer

I volunteered at the Lake T race last night as my way of giving back for the priviledge of being able to race. I helped park cars and then was posted to a sharp turn on the bike course, where I warned the riders about the turn and any traffic on the road.

It was interesting to see the waves of riders. First came the guys with the space age riding helmets, tri-bars and expensive race wheels, then came the road bikes, and then later, in some cases getting lapped by the leaders the mountain bike, rusty scwin speedster and hybrid brigade. The leaders looked like the Tour de France, the stragglers looked like crazed people on a picnic ride being chased by bees.
