2nd Annual Salton Sea Century Bike Ride "Purveyor of Safe, Scenic, and Sensational Century Rides on Roads Less Traveled" Saturday, October 18, 2008   Join the fun!  Support the Riders!  The Riders will need any and all volunteers they can get!  This year Shadow Tour is offering 3 laps, so riders can totally customize the distance they ride.  

Because of this, the rider flow will not be in one direction, as last year.  Therefore, volunteers are needed to staff up all the rest stops from start to finish (instead of progressively as last year).  World Cycles is going to staff the "Hot Corner" rest stop.  Bike Wear World is going to assist with volunteers for at least one other rest stop.  Nonetheless, it is a long day out there and it would be nice to set up some relief shifts during the day.
