Why not help others enjoy your favourite activity?
Bicycle Victoria needs more volunteers to put on the really Great, Great Victorian Bike Ride. Enjoy working with 5000 riders ... 500 other volunteers, making it all happen. This year, it's nearly 600 kilometres from Portland in Western Victoria to Geelong over nine days.
And don't forget, as a volunteer, you will get far more out of it than you will put into it.
So go on, volunteer for Australia's greatest Great Bike Ride! Check it out here!
As a volunteer on the Great Victorian Bike Ride, you will be helping to get more people cycling and enjoying this activity - just like you do.
What do volunteers get on the Great Vic?
For a start, there's free transport to and from Melbourne (for full-time volunteers)
All your meals are included
A free tent is supplied, and it and your luggage are transported to the next site free of charge.
You'll get a free uniform - a hat, shirts, a water bottle.
What can you do?
The Great Vic is made up of many small, dedicated teams of volunteers who work together to make it all happen smoothly.
There are roles in marshalling, driving, route control, activities (putting on entertainment each evening), catering to make sure all the riders are well fed, there's the media team producing a daily newsletter and producing their own radio shows, and many other activities around the campsites.
