I'm going to try to do Moto Crew for the Tour de Cure, which benefits the American Diabetes Association. This one is a bike ride in the North Haven, CT area on June 14 (so I will be looking for a place to crash on Saturday and possibly Sunday night). The crew leader is a guy I worked with this past weekend, so when he found out I was interested

Let me check our calender to sure, but I am fairly certain I can give crash space. We are in west haven.

I just realized I forgot to mention we don't have a garage in case you need one for your bike.
We do have a driveway, a tarp, and also a pop up to protect it from elements. But I didn't want you to be surprised.

No worries. It's gotten wet before, and I have a fork lock and a disk lock.

It's a charity bicycle ride to benefit the American Diabetes Association, similar to a walk. You get people to donate, and ride or walk this course to raise awareness for your cause. And yes, they need lots of crew. The Avon Walk for Breast Cancer has hundreds of them, to handle check-in (2700+ walkers and crew, it's busy!), quick stops, rest stops, the Wellness Village where the walkers stay overnight, the medical requirements, route signage, garbage pickup, sweep vans to pick up people who can't walk anymore or have hurt themselves, and us on the Moto Crew who help with traffic at tricky intersections and sweep the route to make sure everyone's all right. They use motorcycles because we're more flexible and can go places and find parking where cages can't

Cool, let me know -- I'll find out if Charlie is still looking for riders.
