The success of the Open Time Trial Series is based on the dedication of Volunteers who help with the various tasks required to make these events fun for everyone.
A typical Time Trial Squad consists of between 6 and 8 people and involves approximately 2-2.5 hrs per event. Events with fewer than 4 volunteers will be cancelled due to organizational and safety considerations.
