Instructions for Lighthouse Captains

Thank you for volunteering for this year's Lighthouse Ride! The leadership of our captains and the devotion of our teams have made this Ride one of the BEST bicycling events in the state.

In addition to previous captains' reports, your folder or this website will contain the following important papers:

  1. Captain's instructions (this page) with important dates and instructions of meetings/events pertaining to the Lighthouse Ride.
  2. Most current list of your team's members can always be found on line (go to Team List and locate your team). Volunteer coordinator Mark Lyon, (805) 929-5998 or lyonm@charter.net), will continue to recruit volunteers, update this list (although the on line lists will only provide names - no contact information).
  3. A blank Captain's Report to complete and return with your folder after the Ride. Use the Rest Stop Form if you are captain of a rest stop. Otherwise use the General Form. Use the appropriate form, fill it out on your computer, print the result and add it to your folder.
  4. A copy of the club's Incident Report Form to be used if you observe or come upon an accident. It is very important to get the cyclist's name and emergency contact, if possible.
  5. Please use the Reimbursement Form to get reimbursements for your expenditures.

IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO CONTACT ALL OF YOUR VOLUNTEERS BY PHONE OR EMAIL. Encourage them to attend the volunteer meeting, participate in pre-ride, and attend the volunteer brunch. Below is a list of meetings, events, dates and who should attend.
