The 32nd Annual OKHT will be a fantastic two-day bicycling party this September 12th & 13th. This is your invitation to help us. The Old Kentucky Home Tour is the Louisville Bicycle Club's BIGGEST event and it needs YOU!

This two-day ride is host to 1,200+ riders from across the country and it cannot happen without volunteers. Volunteers will receive free registration and a complimentary t - shirt if you give a minimum of 6 hours of your time to this event.

Volunteering is as simple as sending an e-mail to the Volunteer Coordinator and providing the areas in which you think you can be of service. All volunteers must fill out the registration form, write “VOLUNTEER” in the ride registration area and submit it by mail. (Volunteer registrations cannot be done on-line).

Volunteer EARLY and OFTEN this year as the coveted LBC socks and gift cards presented at the year-end banquet are not guaranteed simply for a weekend of OKHT duty.

Our Volunteer Coordinator is looking forward to working with all of you.

Here's exactly where we need your help:

Friday SAG distribution duties. Need 5 volunteers early on Friday (day before OKHT) to help pick up the trucks, pick up supplies and get everything out of the LBC shed. Friday afternoon we need 5 more volunteers to clean water containers and tables. We also distribute the purchased SAG supplies and load onto the rental trucks for SAG distribution on Saturday morning.

Saturday night SAG distribution duties (in Bardstown at Elementary school after the ride). We need at 2 volunteers to help us divide the food for Sunday's SAG stops.

We have 8 SAGs on Saturday and 4 SAGs on Sunday. Therefore, we need 12 people to volunteer to be SAG stop leaders and oversee a SAG. We will provide a fair amount of help; you will have rider volunteers or you can bring our own and decorate the sag. Sag leaders and helpers take care of the riders (fill water, make Gatorade, make sandwiches, slice fruit, tidy up).

SAG stops on Saturday - need at least 2 additional volunteers at each stop to help the SAG leader, and the SAG sponsor team. Volunteer at a SAG and you can still ride one day of the ride. Volunteer at an Early SAG and you can ride after your SAG closes.

SAG stops on Sunday - need at least 2 additional volunteers at each stop to help the SAG leader, or SAG sponsor team.

Sunday Cookie Stop SAG - (this is a special stop!) need at least 6 to 8 additional volunteers to help the SAG leader.

Sunday Cookie Stop traffic calmers - need at least 4 volunteers to slow traffic and cyclists as they approach the SAG stop. Need to direct them off the road and completely into the SAG stop area.

Roving SAG. We need at least 7 volunteers on Saturday and at least 4 volunteers on Sunday. Requires some mechanical knowledge (bike), have a car that can carry at least one bike, one other person, a cooler of ice, water, and supplies for the three routes on Saturday. We provide the supplies but prefer if you bring your own pump (and cooler if possible).
Steve Anderson is the Roving SAG leader. Roving SAG drivers get reimbursed for their gas.
