Western Wheelers Bicycle Club
 
Support your club! The Sequoia is our fund-raising event which makes possible all the picnics, parties and other events the club hosts (you didn't think your dues covered all that did you?). A few hundred volunteers are needed to make this event run smoothly.

The volunteer opportunities are arranged in order of date and time, with the earliest at the top. Just scroll down to find your event and register.   

This year, we are trying something new. Volunteers who register, other than for home baking,  by May 1 will receive either a free membership or (if their schedule allows) a free Sequoia registration. Volunteers may also ride on the Workers' ride on June 8 and are invited to the Workers' Picnic on June 9.
 

NOTE: If you're volunteering for multiple roles, you have to sign up for them one at a time, returning to this page each time. It's not as convenient as it could be, we know, but that's how this software service we're using works.

    The Recruiting staff is responsible for filling all Sequoia volunteer vacancies. Recruiting begins after our team captains have done initial recruiting of prior-year volunteers.  We will also announce that on-line sign up is open. We will then determine what additional volunteers are needed to staff the Sequoia and you will contact members who have not yet volunteered to urge them to participate.  Last minute recruiting is often needed to fill in for volunteers who have to drop out.

     Recruiting volunteers will have an opportunity to ride the Sequoia. Alternatively, they may extend their club membership for a year. 
    Volunteering to help run the Sequoia can be hard work, but our volunteers are well rewarded through the gratitude of riders and the opportunity to get to know other Western Wheelers in a non-pedaling environment.

    This is your chance to put your expert baking skills to use for the club or to acquire baking skills. Last year's home baked goodies drive was so successful that we've expanded it! We're accepting cookies, muffins, breads or whatever can conveniently be consumed by a bicycle rider. If you don't have a recipe or much time, you can even make brownies from a mix. You can bake ahead and freeze your donation. Just sign up and let Jani Richards know what you will bake and when you can deliver it. You can deliver on Saturday to the food distribution locale at Foothill College between 10 a.m. and noon or to a rest stop (especially if you're volunteering there).

    We're looking for homebaked breads (nut, fruit or whatever) and afternoon snacks such as brownies. Use your imagination. If you need a source of very ripe bananas Jani can help. Just call or email Jani at 650-694-7531 or janirr@hotmail.com.

    This is a catch-all category for a few jobs related to making sure items are properly located both before and during the Sequoia. The jobs fall into two categories: picking up items before the Sequoia and relocating/purchasing items during the Sequoia

    Before the Sequoia, we need one volunteer to pick up Its-It ice cream at the El Monte Road Costco and deliver it to Pacific Dining on the Foothill campus for storage. This can be done on Friday or Saturday.

    On the day of the Sequoia, we need 1-4 volunteers with motorcycles or cars and a cell phone or radio to pick up items at one rest stop and move them to another, or to purchase and deliver items that have run short.
    Volunteers who register by May 1 will have an opportunity to ride the Sequoia. Alternatively, they may extend their club membership for a year.

    With help from site volunteers, the crew will load the large truck with all the supplies going back to the WW storage locker. Utilizing 2 rental vans and 1 personal van, the crew will also transfer all the rented tables, chairs, and coffee urns back to Suzie Shao’s house in Los Altos (or wherever they will be picked up). The crew will also assist VA volunteers with general clean up as needed.

    After completing all tasks, the crew will refuel and return the 2 rental vans to Hengehold in Palo Alto. The crew will also assure that drivers get transport back to their personal vehicles.

    Volunteers who register by May 1 will have an opportunity to ride the Sequoia. Alternatively, they may extend their club membership for a year. 

    Volunteering to help run the Sequoia can be hard work, but our volunteers are well rewarded through the gratitude of riders and the opportunity to get to know other Western Wheelers in a non-pedaling environment.

    Two volunteers are needed for this post-event job. You will drive the course and pick up signs and debris left from the ride. You will return the signs to the storage locker in Cupertino. A van or pick up truck would be useful, since some of the signs are fairly large. Randall Braun will provide a course map and the locations of signs.

    Register
    Each year on the Saturday following the Sequoia, Western Wheelers sponsors a ride for our volunteers. The routes approximate the three longer Sequoia routes, and we add easier routes to substitute for the 50 mile route. In this way, all level of volunteer riders have a ride available and we all get to share lunch and camaraderie in La Honda.

    This year, we would like to have those who plan to ride and have lunch to sign up in advance. This will allow us to place a lunch order with the La Honda Market. Thank you.
