VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED!! Please join us!

Many different volunteers are needed for the Lobster Ride & Roll. Each one is essential to the success of this fantastic event. There are various jobs for any shift you want: parking in a.m., registration, greeting, rest stop staffing, hot dog grilling, welcoming committee as riders return (noisemakers provided), support vehicle driving, clean-up crew. It's fun to volunteer while whoever you came with is riding. Free lunch for volunteers!
