Washington DC 3-Day Walk needs cyclists or Motorcyclists!!!!

[Pedal Wench]

I had this posted in the Mid-Atlantic forum, but we need help, and anyone can drive/fly in to help! It's just one week away, and we're short-handed! I'm driving from ATL to DC with a few other crew members, and we have room in the RV for you and bikes, so anyone on that corridor can hitch a ride with us.

Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk Crew needed!
Hi Folks,

I've been in charge of the bicycle Route Safety crew the past two years in Atlanta, and on board for 2008. They've just added Washington DC to the list of cities, and I signed up to help get that city up to speed. But, we need more cyclists!!! We work side by side with the motorcycle crew, all in charge of keeping everyone safe, and spirits up. Part traffic cop, huge part cheerleader!

Excellent bike experience needed, ability to ride 40 miles a day, incredibly cheerful, upbeat people only need apply. No whiners allowed. It's amazingly hard work -- we're out before the first walker, and escort in the last walker each day, and camp out with the rest of the walkers and crew. I use my mountain bike so I can make sure I can follow wherever the walkers go -- Atlanta has us on dirt paths at times.

When you're not assigned to control traffic at an intersection, you're moving to your next intersection ahead of the walkers, cheering them on, keeping them safe (no headphones or cellphones while walking) and just having fun. Desire to wear a pink tutu for 3 days not necessary, but helpful.

Let me know asap if you're interested, and we'll fast-track you through registration.

Wish I could help! Just finished walking mine a week ago. To all out there thinking about this -- it is an amazing experience to be involved in the Breast Cancer 3-Day! If you can spare the time, you will NOT regret it!

Good Luck Pedal Wrench!
Enjoy the weekend.
