Volunteers make the Golden Triangle possible. They donate their time and sometimes endure chilly weather to help participants enjoy their 3 day ride.
Volunteers get a lot of love from participants. They receive free accommodation and meals during the event. After the event, we award them with a stipend as a minor gesture of our appreciation.
Volunteers don’t have to be members. We will assign them guest status for the duration of the GT. Participant’s spouses and family members make great volunteers.
Volunteers help pickup, drive and drop off the rental vehicles (vans and cube trucks)
We need able bodies to move canopies, tables, food serving equipment and food into vehicles starting Thursday afternoon then return the gear after the event on Sunday afternoon.
Our primary need is for Hospitality volunteers -- the heart of our event. They:
- help pick up and load vans in Calgary
- set up the rest stops along the route (tables and canopies)
- prepare and serve food
- welcome riders
- administer rider sign in sheets (so we know which riders are yet to arrive)
- manage the tail gate gatherings each afternoon
Some dish washing and cleanup is needed before putting food and equipment back in the vans and setting off for the next rest stop. Some shopping may be necessary in Radium and Golden. The Hospitality Lead works with the Coordinator to plan the menus and purchase the food.
The luggage shuttle volunteer:
- manages access to the luggage trailer,
- keeps track of community tire pumps and
- supervise baggage loading by the participants.
They keep logs of the participants at the start location and get the luggage to the end point each day by the appointed time.
