I am the Volunteer Coordinator for the Tour d'Organics - Austin! It's a ride of 35/65/100 miles through the Texas hill country visiting organic farms ending up a farmer's market where a vegan meal will be served.

Now for the GACK! part, I've never been a Volunteer Coordinator before ! I'm a little intimidated. No, a lot intimidated. My assignment is to find groups to man all the rest stops, 8-10 of them. How do I do this? Oh yeah, I'm also supposed to find HAM radio operators for the rest stops.

I stepped up to the call for volunteers to stretch my comfort zone, be more active in the cycling community, maybe get some creds that will help me find some cycling-related job. It's all good, I'm just nervous.

If anyone has any tips, I would Love, Love, Love to hear them!
