What does being a support crew member involve?
Being a part of the support crew is an incredibly important job. None of our riders would make it across the state without the support crew. Duties of the support crew include manning stops for our riders, set-up and take-down of lunch, checking into hotels, carrying lots of luggage, resupplying riders with drinks and food, ensuring the safety of the riders, and coordinating with the local celebrations. Michael Yates said it best when he noted that riding the bicycle is the easy part…it is the support crew that holds the tour together, and they work hard to do so.
