- setting up and breaking down campsites (Riders pitch and take down their tents) and 4 rest stops
- serving meals, pouring water, making electrolyte drink
- picking up trash (does not include Alysse)
- parking bicycles, fixing bicycles
- picking up exhausted riders
- wrapping sore knees
- giving massages
- leading cheers
- giving directions (in the cold wind, hot sun - sometimes waiting hours for the next group of cyclists to ride by
- hanging signs, marking the route
- and just about anything else you can think of
In addition to all this work, Roadies are known for giving hugs, making us laugh, and generally keeping us all openhearted and on our toes (or on our bike seats, which is really a 2 by 4 stuck up our derriers for 7 days 545 miles).
