Details
SAG: Sets up rest stops along the route and provide water, snacks, first aid supplies and support for riders during their ride. Will need cell phone to communicate with other SAG stops, Water Truck and Roving SAGs. Must depart camp early to arrive at SAG on time for the first riders passing through. All SAG volunteers will also be responsible to carry filled water containers with them prior to leaving camp as well as *additional ice (may pick up along the way from Speedway or other gas stations that carry ice) to their SAG and Time slots will be determined by SAG Coordinator.
SAG Distribution: All SAG Volunteers will check in with this person in the morning each day to pick up refreshments for their SAG. This position requires getting up early, filling water jugs with ice, distributing an assorted variety of KIND bars, fresh fruit, snacks and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (**fruit and sandwiches will be provided by school or catering staff by 7:00 a.m. each morning, only SAG #3 will receive sandwiches).
SAG Volunteers are required to wash water jugs daily upon returning to camp and then return them to the SAG Distribution Volunteer each evening so they may be filled with ice in the morning (we realize it may be problematic at Leland).
Roving SAG Support: Drivers that are willing to be mobile for the majority of the day, traveling from SAG stop to SAG stop to help SAG Staff, give breaks to SAG Staff and support riders that are broken down or need assistance. It is not necessary to be able to fix bikes, but a bike rack or vehicle to carry riders and their bikes to the nearest SAG is required.
Motorcycle SAG: The primary function will be cruising the route, looking for riders that may need assistance and providing fresh ice water and snacks in a pinch to cyclists that need it. This person will need a smart phone and must download the Zello App for communicating, the ability to carry a 5 gallon water container filled with ice and water and refill it when necessary along the route. We will provide snacks, ice, water, camping, breakfast and dinner daily. Must be available to ride all day from 9am-4pm, or in shifts from either 8am until Noon or Noon until 4pm each day traveling from SAG stop to SAG stop to check in, giving breaks to SAG Staff and supporting riders that need ice water along the route before reaching a SAG Stop, or need assistance by calling for assistance to the mobile bike repair or notifying the First Aid Team if someone needs help. In the event of an emergency, knowing when it is time to call 911. All bikers must wear a helmet.
*Gas, approved SAG supplies and lunch (up to $11 per person, no alcohol) will be reimbursed. Keep receipts to submit with your expense report. Checks are cut and mailed for reimbursements within two weeks after the ride.
**If there are breakfast items (such as fruit and pastries) left over after 8:30 a.m., either the last SAG heading out, or a Roving SAG will carry them forward to be distributed at SAG Stops.

Roving SAGs will collect pin markers and route signs from the start of the ride as they move forward.
