It's that time of year again! The league is looking for up to 30...30 rovers to cover the races this year. We have 7 race days, with 25+ race waves that need to be covered by ROVERS.
What is a Rover? You are the eyes and ears, riding your bike, on the racecourse. You work together with other Rovers and the Rover Director to be sure the racers are safe and follow the NICA race rules. You give a bit of encouragement to those athletes that need it and move out of the way for those that don't.
Expectations:
You are a level 2 or 3 NICA coach.
You will commit to 5 races and be prepared to ride 2 laps (up to 5 laps) with the same waves each race.
You will meet with the Rover Director on Race day for a debrief, immediately following the coaches' meeting.
You will agree to read the Rover paperwork and adhere to the guidelines laid out to promote a safe and successful race.
You will ride your mountain bike following all NICA rules while monitoring the racers on the course.
You will carry tools, first aid, water, and snacks on the course.
For your commitment and hard work, you will receive a sleeveless ROVER bib and a STIPEND.
Fill out the form completely if you want to ride bikes at the races this year! The goal is to schedule a rover to a specific wave for the entire season. Incomplete forms will not be considered.
