The 60-kilometer circuit will lead participants through the region's world-renowned natural areas, using its extensive network of pathways, parkways and urban parks. I am part of the team co-ordinating this event. We need about 30 info-mechano volunteers. The "info-mechanos" will provide a basic bike repair service and act as information officers. For those who need it, the NCC will provide a basic mechanic course for the volunteers (changing tires, chain, basic brake adjustments). The greatest part is that the mechanos will be on their bikes, cycling around on that day. It is the best of both worlds!! You get the mechanic course and you get to cycle all day! There are also other volunteer positions available. If you're interested in volunteering, contact the NCC Volunteer Centre at (613) 239-5373 or 1 800 465-1867. In addition Ultimate will be a featured sport. OCUA will be running a day long exhibition pickup game, an accuracy booth and throwing skills clinics to promote our sport and our association. Volunteers are needed to do what Ultimate Players do best.....PLAY ULTIMATE! To join the exhibition team contact Mike Hall-Jones at 235-7576 or mhalljones@sprint.ca Spend a fun-filled day helping the NCC make this event an exhilarating experience for the 25,000 participants expected for Escapade 2000! For more info on this fun event call Gwen Prillo at 239-5386. ************************************************************ CO-ED TOURNEY - BARRIE, AUGUST 19: Barrie, Ontario August 19th 9:30 am start Only one day and we are hoping to attract B teams.
