I voted that I've never volunteered but that I'd like to...but now that I read the responses, I realize that I wasn't entirely truthful! I've never volunteered at any of the big organized rides in my area, but I plan to before too long. I've only been riding a year, so I needed some time to begin to understand how these events even work!

But I do volunteer. I have been leading 'beginner' training rides for the rookies on our MS150 team at work. I'm a big advocate for 'just getting on a bike and joining us" at work, so I volunteered to lead some rookie/beginner rides in the evenings. I notice that when I lead, the numbers of participants is much higher than when some of the other team members lead. I think I must be less intimidating than some of the super fast guy leaders!
