We set up bike parking on the ball field at Harvey West Park in Santa Cruz.
First order of business was to decide on the layout of the bike racks.
Each rack is comprised A-Frames and poles. The racks consists of 6 poles and 7 A-frames. Each row had 2 or more sets of 6 allowing breaks for accessibility. Each pole takes 10 bikes, so we set up approximately 250 poles to accommodate the 2350 cyclists.
When is was all done we parked the bikes that beat us there (yup a few cyclist beat us to Santa Cruz) and spent the rest of the afternoon parking and scanning all of the bikes.
The bikes were scanned and put into a database for a number of reasons, medical hold, warning/praise citations, violation pulls, and helping cyclist find there bike if they forgot the row name.
The food table was set up and manned
(or womanned as the case may be)
Water stations was supplied with water and Poweraid.
Roadies directed the cyclist.
Roadies parked the bike
Roadies may do a little dance...
We all got to take a break and get our luggage and put up our tents. And lucky me Will put up mine!
At the end of the day all of the bikes were parked/scanned and security came to babysit them for the night.
