Hello.
I read about you doing the moto crew for the breast cancer walk. Now you've inspired me to think about doing the Charlotte one.
I'm a long time rider, but haven't ridden that much in the last couple of years.
I haven't contacted them about working on the crew yet. I may have missed the deadline, but figure if they really need help they won't turn me down. How much ride time were you doing vs helping folks out? Anything I should know about that's not obvious?

Well, I probably only rode 80 or 85 miles on Saturday, and 60 of that was getting there and back again, if that helps. Most of my time was directing traffic, or figuring out where I needed to be next. I'm pretty sure that they use motorcycles instead of people in cars because bikes are easier to park. Also, on Sunday, we rode up and down the line, sort of herding people to stay in the breakdown lane. We couldn't have done that in cars.
Other than that, be ready to work in all weathers. Apparently last year it rained and rained hard all weekend, and they were out there, directing traffic. You'll want a baseball hat, or some other hat with a brim, and a couple of water bottles.
I hope you get to go out and play! Charlotte isn't till October 25-26, though, so you have plenty of time.
