Volunteer for 2019 Back Roads Century and get a $25 Registration Rebate! We need help before and during the cycling weekend. If you or your friends or family are interested in volunteering, fill out the form below. Volunteering is a great way to meet fellow cyclists and have fun. What's better than having hundreds of riders telling you "thank you" all day long? This is a great way to give back to the Potomac Pedalers, the cycling community and to help us ensure the event runs smoothly. If you're registered to ride and help for 4 (or more) hours, you'll get a $25 rebate after the event. Some volunteers shifts leave you free on Ride Weekend. Please complete the Volunteer Form below. Our Volunteer Coordinator will contact you to confirm your position and time. Some positions require a limited number of volunteers and will be filled on a “first to sign up” basis. We hope you will be flexible! All volunteers will receive a free “BRC Volunteer T-shirt” and are welcome to join us at the Sunday post-ride party! If you have questions, please contact Monique Sears, mrsearsklm@gmail.com. Fill out the form below to sign up for a Back Roads Century Volunteer Position.
