VCL_starts_Sat:_Calling_all_Doctors_Nurses_Paramedics

Hi everyone,
The VCL starts up THIS Saturday. I hope to post a race schedule tomorrow (Tuesday). It will include some details on a new youth program.
It is always very reassuring to have someone there with some medical training. Accidents are very rare. In fact, we've had as many people arrive with injuries from their ride to the race (N=2) than from injuries from actually racing, and that's over a period of five years! Nonetheless, club members with any medical training are invited to contact me (here or at taylorjs@uvic.ca) to volunteer to assist. The club has a good quality medical kit.
To racers: Not sure whether you're ready for racing? Keep this in mind: Points are easier to get early in the season. You'll beat everyone that doesn't show up!
Finally, I will also be contacting a few who included the VCL as their volunteer option, unless you contact me first.
Cheers,
John
