Thought I'd sign up. Probably end up stuck in a field guarding a toilet.

exactly my thoughts - I signed up as soon as this went live, but the more I think about it, the more selfish I feel - I was reminded of seeing one of the Olympic "gamesmakers" on the telly who didn't see one single moment of sport the whole time they were there.
I think I'll be up a hill somewhere watching the bikes and let someone else guard the portaloos.
I'm with edlong on this. I signed up immediately too but will probably hide away when the call goes out. Selfish?
I too signed up initially.
It'll be ok, there is plenty of road and much fewer portaloos. But maybe Bradley will ask you to hold his bike while he pops into one!
latest I've heard is all the kit we will wear is sponsored by ASDA- and there was me hoping for ASOS!
My Bad!, but in fairness either Assos or Asos would be better than looking like you work at walmart's cousin?! 🙂
rochdale council just put the call out.. it doesnt even go through rochdale..or lancashire..
To provide a bit of balance to all you saying ho awful it will be...
My friend was a games maker for the Olympics. He had a brilliant time. He ended up taking athletes to training venues and watching them train.
I volunteered at the TdF Grand Depart in London a few years ago. Spent the time standing at a crossing making sure people didn't get run over, but had as good a view of the cyclists as anyone else i.e. a few seconds as they whooshed past 🙂
I volunteerd to help out at the XC world cup in dalby a year or so ago. The first night I got to "guard" a pretty cool uphill sprint of the crit type stage. That was pretty good.
I then marshalled the public ride. Was stuck out in the depths of the forest on a boring bend with a sign, I was old I would be picked up at 5, at 7 I started walking the 8 miles back to the start point. We then got a mini bus into pickering for the 'after party" the bus back to the camp site (next village away) would be leaving at 9.45 so i cut the night short and stood in a car park waiting fir the mini bus, which finally arrived at about 11. I hope the tour will be better, but I feel I've done my volunteering to help british cycling!
If they give me a little triangular sign and tell me to wave it in front of a traffic island and i will be as happy as a pig dans le merde....
