Moto help for a bicycle ride in the Midlands - 9 September

[macride]

. . . not sure where to post this but I'll try here.

We're looking for a bit of help from a motorcyclist (or two would be even better) for MacRide on Sunday 9 September at Stratford-upon-Avon. (Our usual helpers are both away on holiday that weekend)

The task entails riding round our ride courses before the cyclists - total of about 130 miles - checking that the arrow signage has not been moved or tampered with overnight. The moto is equipped with a supply of A4 sized correx arrows and cable ties to fix anything awry. [The last two events have been fine, with just one arrow moved]

So - is anyone able to help please - no pay I'm afraid, but we'll gladly reimburse fuel costs etc ... and you'll get a MacRide medal!!!

There's more here at www.macride.org.uk

If you can help, or know someone that might please PM with a phone number and I'll give you a shout.

Thanks

BUMP. Nobody? I'd do it, only it's far away, and also I don't want to.

Looks like quite a good reason for a ride to be honest. If I was closer, etc etc...

I would however question thoroughly the integrity of your chosen rider(s). BCF has a history of people willing to go the extra mile for 'teh lulz' and I personally wouldn't put it past them to make the course ever so slightly more interesting...

And, obviously, pics of the event afterwards please.

Not far from me, will check off duty tonight, if I'm not working I'll volunteer

You could try asking a local bike club for help.

My branch of the Honda Owners Club has done this a few times for local cycling events. Try contacting one of the HOC local branches near to you - they don't bite!

Why do they need a bike?
Surely any form of motorized vehicle (perhaps one owned by a member of the organizing club) could perform the task equally well.

Many thanks for (most of!) the replies - I think we're sorted with a couple of volunteers.
