Volunteers who applied before 31 July 2008 can request a Volunteer Live Easy Tent

Volunteers who registered for the 2008 Great Victorian Bike Ride before 31 July 2008 were offered the Volunteer Live Easy Tent to share. This means that we will provide a 2 person dome tent for these Volunteers to share with another Volunteer - and it will be put up and taken down. If Volunteers were nominated by a registered Rider, they are able to share the tent with that Rider in the Volunteer Camping area.

Support the people who support your bike riding. Join Bicycle Victoria.

Why volunteer?

Helping out on the day is an exciting and satisfying experience.  Not only are you assisting in getting More People Cycling More Often, but you can also reap rewards from your work.

Statistics demonstrate that people volunteer because they gain some personal satisfaction, develop social networks, learn new skills, gain work experience and maintain existing skills.  Some people have even met their future partners on the day!

Benefits of volunteering

All volunteers are provided with event clothing, lunch, event information and support in order to perform their duties.
