NOTE: Race weekends are executed with the help of volunteers. Teams are requested to provide 1 volunteer per every 4 registered riders. Jets parents are requested to fill two volunteer slots per season. Volunteer slots include both on-course and off-course positions that occur in time slots before, during, and after races. Slots do not require background training, although some slots, Roving Marshall, for example, involve biking long distances.
