Camp Teams

Bike Parking: This team is responsible for setting up and managing the Bike Parking area in camp. Bike Parking Roadies set up and break down bike racks every day and check-in every Cyclist as they enter camp each evening. As a Bike Parking Roadie you are one of the last camp teams that sees the Cyclists before they hit the road for the day and then you will greet them when they arrive in the next camp! Must be comfortable with lifting Bike Parking racks.

Bike Tech:  Where do Cyclists go when they need bike help? Bike Tech! This Roadie team provides bike support at daily rest stops and in camp. They take care of everything from damaged bar tape to new derailleurs and flat tires! Advanced bike tech skills a plus!

Bus Liaisons: This team works closely with our bus drivers and staff to provide transportation to our participants along the routes. Bus Liaison Roadies provide moral support to Cyclists and Roadies who ride the SAG bus to camp. Must be able to read and communicate directions to bus drivers and provide TLC to Cyclists.

Food Service:  AIDS/LifeCycle provides a hot breakfast and dinner in Camp each day and the Food Service team makes it possible!

Information Services: This Roadie team is responsible for lost and found items, manages lunch pick-up for sagged cyclists, and is where many Roadie teams go to pick-up their lunches each morning.

Pack-Up: One of our most crucial teams, Pack-Up is the last team to leave camp each day and ensures we are leaving each location nicer than we found it. This includes monitoring garbage during meal times, disposing of the trash and recycling, and loading tables and chairs onto trucks.

This team is responsible for a driving a 26-foot truck, T2, and a smaller truck T2.5, that are filled with supplies that Staff and Roadies may need on the Ride.

Traffic: This team is responsible for managing vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic in and out of camp.
