Crew members!


Hey everybody just trying to meet some new people on the crew team!

My friend and I are volunteering this year seeing that she wants to be involved and I can't bike but want to stay involved.

So feel free to say hello!

Awwww...we'll miss you pedalling, Red :)

I guess I still qualify as crew, though... Planning on being medical and a rider again this year ;)

Hey good to know I will be missed.

Unfortunately I got squished in between some barricades at work, which basically means I took 1000+ pounds to my knees. So with this injury and still working back to being as fit as I was last year is just not going to happen as fast as I would like. I am still training as much as I can seeing as for my future career I need to be fit and my knees need to be better.

I wanted to stay involved however so I just switched to crew so hopefully I'll still see you guys there!

Ah, come on Steph, the barricades didn't do that much damage. I've been squished between 'em too!

It's not the barricades you are thinking Brian and you weren't there

Either they were cattlegate barricades being pushed in or stage barricades landing on you during setup/teardown, and I have experienced both.

I was working the moat when the whole cattle fencing was fallen on by people in the mosh pit, and glad to hear it happened to you and you weren't hurt but unfortunately I was and I'm just following my doctor's orders, believe me I would much rather be biking not just a crew member.

hi, I'm  Christine...

I was in the food crew last year (3am....eeew). great event and great experience.

and am on the crew again this year (dr said NO to riding). I've signed up to be on road crew - bought myself a truck this year so have offered it up to drive during the ride. if I'm not on the road with my shiny truck I think I opted for food service again (in my previous life - aka before kids - I was a chef)

:)

Hey Hypermama,

Just get a box liner for that shiny truck....if you end up shuttling, that could be a lot of bikes in the back ;)

nothing yet.

called today to ask (and get a confirmed time for the crew meeting - so the MR can get off work early enough).

they just had the Ottawa walk so I'm assuming thats why there was no answer.

going to try tomorrow....

I received an email from Rachel (who was filling in for Lua while she was on her honeymoon) with details about the crew meeting; from the email: "There will be a Crew 101 at Cross Cancer Institute on May 26th at 5:30pm".

I'm assuming this is the meeting just before the ride, however 5:30 PM does appear to be rather late in the day to have a pre-ride meeting... Perhaps a typo and meant to be AM? In any case, I'll be in Calgary for the 24th or 25th so it's not much of an issue for me at this time.

the pre ride meeting last year was the Friday evening before the ride. at the same time as riders were allowed to bring their bikes in. I believe it was 7pm.

the crew 101 meeting is just a meeting to give you an idea of what is to be expected. but may 26 is long gone....strange. last year's was around 5:30 as well

Crew Meeting will be held on Friday night. Lua said it is mandatory, so that you receive your crew T-Shirt and meet up with the rest of your team.  As for the packages, the first mail-outs are going out today if you have completed online check-in. 

Can someone please tell MOTHER NATURE that we need some sunshine. Training in rain is terrible.  BRRRR!

yep, I just need to know what time so that the Mr can get home on time for me to get down there (is it going to be at Spruce Meadows too? I'm assuming so as thats where the start line is.)

getting excited. ok I've been excited since last year's ride.


ditto on the weather - I'd like the sun for at LEAST that weekend.

what crew did everyone ask to be on?

Hey Guys,

I'll miss you guys too, I'm so going to want to be out biking with you. As of right now I'm part of the taxi team, had to verify vehicle information to make sure I can still have that post so when I find out I'll let you guys know.

Hmm... I was never made aware of this preride meeting last year and was only there for the meeting at the Deerfoot Inn, but we recieved our tshirts there. I'm actually quite confused haha. Oh well, now that I know of this mandatory meeting I will be there. I can't believe it's already in two weeks.

The meeting at the Deerfoot last year was the same crew meeting as this one being discussed. I hadn't been made aware of it either until a day or two before last year.

Yeah, that's what I thought haha. I just love confusion as a result of sleep deprivation...

So now that I know I have to be in Calgary for at least one day before the ride, I've gotta figure out what I wanna do to kill time. Peters' Drive-In is a must... What else is there to do in Calgary besides the zoo and the Red Mile?

Doesn't mean I can't go there for the milkshakes or onion rings! Mmmmm.

I've never stayed in Calgary and not had Peters'. Only time is if I just drive through on my way south but that's rare. Almost like a tradition. Gotta keep it going. ;)

Yeah I'm headed from Edmonton early Friday morning. My friend has to work Thursday and I'm pulling an overnight shift Thursday to Friday so it'll be a fun weekend spent on energy drinks that's for sure.
