My LBC hosts a 3-day ride. I've done roving SAG. The company I work for sponsors the local marathon (Sunburst) and I've worked that one also. Speaking from both sides of the fence, provider & participant, I appreciate the volunteers tremendously when I'm a participant. As a provider, so far I've only assisted with no contribution to the planning, I'm somewhat shocked it (the event & services) all comes off as good as it does. For example, this last ride a participant suggested that the event host provide a cell phone number to a central SAG dispatch so you don't have to rely on roving SAG alone. I think that is a great idea & have seen it provided on many rides I've done. I think events should poll for suggestions because it is a difficult job to plan & implement an event without omitting something no matter how thorough you may be.

Try not. Do or do not... there is no try.
