RE: Volunteering

Don't worry too much about being labeled a "goof".  I've done a few
dumb things as a volunteer but I don't think anyone remembers it!
And now that I'm competing, the same dumb things are being done
by other newbie volunteers that I did.  It's part of the learning
curve and there is no better way to learn how to ride an endurance
ride other than riding it!

Have fun and just be observant.

Kathy - a newbie last year - now just a little experienced!

I will be volunteering at the Osceola Ride this weekend in Lake City,
FL. This will be my first exprience at an endurance event. I've been
reading all of your posts on ridecamp and on endurance.net and trying to
soak it all in. From reading everyone's stories I think I have a slight
grasp on what it is all about. However, I was wondering if any one might
have some advice for me concerning volunteer etiquette and/or faux pas
to be aware of. Being a complete newbie to the sport I'd hate to make
some ignorant mistake and get labeled as the goof from South Florida for
the rest of my (potential) endurance experience.

Feel free to e-mail me privately if this is a topic that has been
discussed before at ridecamp.

Thanks,

Patti Fuchs
