[DVBC] Volunteer for Tour of PA

Sat Mar 8 21:12:18 EST 2008

Bob,
Thanks for the info. I plan to work the races as a course marshall in Allentown 6/3 and Lancaster 6/5, plus the tour PA prologue time trial in Philly T 6/24 and the start of the race across PA in Downingtown on W 6/25.  I am interested in car pooling to Allentown and Lancaster with any other volunteers.  Will probably bike into Philly and bike from home to  Downingtown depending on the report times.
