Marshals

Ride to designated spots on the route, assist riders when needed, answer questions, and cheer them on! Note that every marshal is required to do a pre-event ride with the Marshal Captain.

Registration

Check in riders arriving at Sakura Park on the morning of the ride. Provide them with their wristbands, and answer questions and set them quickly and safely on their way.



Festival Set Up

Welcome the sponsors, help them set up for the festival, set up for lunch, and get the party started!

Morning Set Up

Prepare Sakura Park for the event. Early morning set up of tables, chairs, tents, and decorations. Set up and serve breakfast.



Traffic

Morning and Afternoon shifts – tell people where to go – in the nicest possible way!  Keep the flow of people and bikes orderly.

Pit Stops

Leaner than in prior years, pre-packaged snacks and beverages will be offered. We will welcome riders with our typical great NYCC hospitality. The focus this year due to Covid is to enable a low-touch, grab and go, flow through the stop. Open areas to rest in a socially distant manner abound along our route.



SAG (Support and Gear)

Be ready to drive the route and help cyclists in need! Only licensed drivers need apply. : )

Route Marking

The day before the ride, travel the route with a fellow volunteer and put down the route markings. We are looking for drivers with cars as well.



Event Break Down

Late-afternoon/early-evening shift. Fold up the tables, chairs, and tents. Clean up the park.
 

Provisions

Several pre-ride shifts (you can ride ENY when you’re done!). The day before the ride, load up the vans with supplies. Early morning of the ride, bring the vans to Sakura.


First ENY, great race, course was extremely well marked and the refreshment stations were so well stocked with so many goodies, Amazing!
Loved the people directing along the route. Really enjoyed the party at the end. The band was great and so was the food! Loved the ‘photo booth.’
