The Ride would not happen without our great volunteer crew!  Being on crew is all about making the Ride a safe and memorable experience for everyone.  The crew registration fee is $25, and while crewmembers are not required to raise money, many do.  Each crewmember receives a Ride t-shirt, lunch, and dinner on Ride day.  Review our crew opportunities and register today.

All crewmembers must attend an orientation session.  Each session lasts an hour and a half and provides important information on the Ride and crew responsibilities.  Scheduled orientation dates can be found below.

Read through the opportunities and chose the role that most interests you.  Many Crew opportunities fill up, so put your bid in early and choose your top three!  We will do our best to place you in your preferred area, but we hope you understand if we need you elsewhere.
