Hello VBC Members,
RACC 2025 was a huge financial success, and that's thanks to our dedicated members who show up every year. They are truly saints, and RACC wouldn't be possible without them.
However, these same hard-working members are getting burnt out, and we can't take their commitment for granted. To keep RACC going and to make RACC 2026 an even bigger success, we need all members to step up and help out.
This is your club, and we need new faces to join the team!
We're in the process of forming the RACC 2026 committee, and we're looking for passionate members to lead the following key areas. We will hold a kickoff meeting on September 10, 2025, at 6 PM at BCC—and yes, there will be pizza!
RACC 2026 Committee Roles Needed
REGISTRATION: Assist riders with wrist bracelets and answer questions about the routes.
REST STOPS: A leader to take charge of rest stops, including picking up food, organizing needed utensils, and managing volunteers.
FOOD VENDORS: Help Ruth Romer contact vendors for donations. Ruth has built great relationships, so it's often as easy as a quick email. This is a big job, and she could use some help!
BEER GARDEN: Verify that Loowit Brewery is on board to donate beer again.
SANDWICH BAR: Hunter loves this job but needs help to run the sandwich bar smoothly.
ROAD SUPPORT: Tony Shields had a blast last year and wants to lead this again, but he needs VBC members to volunteer to help him.
PARKING / PORTA POTTIES: Arrange for porta-potties at rest stops and direct riders where to park and get on the correct route.
PAINTING & MARKING: Organize a crew to paint and mark all the RACC routes.
ROUTES: Joe Cote has some great ideas, but we need someone to work with him to create routes with beautiful scenery, good hills, and the right challenge for all rider groups.
SETUP & TEAR DOWN: Organize a team to help set up and tear down the start/finish site.
Please show up for this kickoff meeting and find a way to contribute. We need everyone's help to ensure RACC continues for years to come.
I hope to see you on September 10th @ 6pm at BCC. Please register on the VBC calendar so we know how much Pizza to order.
