Just resurrecting to ask...

Those of you who volunteered at this or any big cycling events, is it worth it? Good things, bad things?

I'm thinking of volunteering at the Worlds in Yorkshire in September.

(Edit - I did the Commonwealth Games in Mcr 2002. But that was paid. And I was young. And there was Tracey. That was great.)

Volunteering to provide free labour for a for-profit event. Fuck that.

I volunteered to Marshall at The Open at St Andrews in 2005. I paid to fly to Edinburgh and for accommodation in St Andrews. One of my best weekends ever. So close to the action and at the heart of a major international event I could not hope to compete in.
