Paul, volunteer check in is around 9-9:30. The groups of students are formed around 9:30, and the. Go out to the stations at 9:45, first time slot starts at 10. If you plan on help with a station, check first with that station leader about set up time. If you're guiding a group, check in near the airbag in the lacrosse box/ lawn bowls parking lot near the airbag. You will be provided with a map and schedule. Thanks again!

New Record Attendance at BikeJam- 177 grade 6-12 students.
BikeJam grew again with the attendance of large school groups. Spencer Middle School, Maria Montessori, Selkirk Montessori, Monterey, and St Pats all brought large groups, as well as smaller groups from other schools.

Tripleshot's School Bike League commissioner Eric Simonson has been everywhere doing permits, the website, online registration, insurance, and photography, etc. He made the tough but in the end correct call to postpone BikeJam a day because of rain. Today's brilliant sunshine made it feel like summer.

199 kids registered, though the actual number of riders registered is now higher, as some unpreregistered kids registered at the event. 177 signed on Wednesday.

Most of the coaches stretched their schedules to the rain date too, with Kelly Guest stepping in for Tom Skinner, and yours truly for Erinne Willock who couldnt make the second day.

Tripleshot was a major presence, with Keith Kendall helping escort the Spencer kids on bikes to BikeJam, Eric running the committee and the league, youth riders Thomas Hill, Ethan Pauly, Sarah Van Dam, Casey and Remy Garrison, and Tomas Kaleniuk taking part. (Who were praised by Pete Wellsman for their cross skills at his station). Parents Carmen Welta, Lisa Paquin, Dave Garrison volunteered as group guides. And in the paying-it-forward category, Brenna Pauly and Jay Lamoureux were stellar co-coaches at the road station, ably teaching the most testing group, 30+ grade 6 boys bunch skills, while Chris Hart volunteered at the velodrome. Dylan Reeves brought 12 kids from Glen Lyon Norfolk.

I'm sure I've forgotten someone, so will update.

CHEK and CTV attended and interviewed volunteers and kids. I post links when I see them.

Thanks all for a great day!
