(Scott Elden (apron) and Fran and Bob Greenburg, Cino 2013)
Thank you Volunteers.
What makes Cino Heroica special is a group of volunteers that get things done with the style and attitude that exemplifies the ride. At the riders start meeting, I mentioned Ron and Jan Brunk of Glacier Cyclery as two key figures behind the ride, doing everything from registration to support to awards. Following are the others who helped (hopefully my lists are good and I have not missed anyone, apologies if I have).
Craig Christophersen (craigch78@gmail.com) and Scott Eldon (principal of Montana Creative, scott@mt-creative.com) are the lead help behind Pranza. This is a huge, incredible logistical and creative effort that starts months before the ride. Think about pulling together food, volunteers, vehicles, tables, tents, serving stuff, ice….. in the middle of nowhere.
Chris Sauve (sauven@centurytel.net) is the lead figure behind the starting breakfast, dinner in Hot Springs, breakfast in Symes, tables, napkins, candles, …… Again, a job that literally begins the the year before Cino as all these things need to be planned well in advance.
