All,
When I showed up for TDP last year it was my first one. There was no instruction, no worksheet, no nothing. So I set up at my assigned spot and listened and tried to mimic what everyone else was doing. This year I propose a worksheet. It will explain what people are to do and not do and be as comprehensive as it can be. Please add to the list, comment, etc., and approaching TDP I will convert it all into a PDF that can be referenced in the field or printed out and taken to the event.

Tour de Paris Worksheet
Participants are chiefly there to observe and assist. Observations that can be passed along include the first and last rider to pass through the location, if EMS is needed due to injury and any resupply that the various locations need.
Your call sign:
The first rider (try and include the number on their jersey):
Supply/EMS needs:
As day is wrapping up report the very last rider we are tracking has passed your location.
Handy to have: Water, sunshades, spare batteries if operating a portable along with binoculars or a monocular.
You didn’t come and pick up info in town… you went to rest stop with out… I will also let mark Know he can put the word out earlier when the pickup shirt’s the can get list.
Kelly,
Ah…so there was some kind of info. LOL Well, I didn’t know it. But this year we can have a worksheet right here on the site and people can use it at their assigned location. From a smart phone or printed out, whatever. LOL Sorry if I stepped on your toes. I just winged it last year and thought everyone else was too. Thanks for the follow up!

All,
More for your “personal kit” – food and maybe an icebox for keeping stuff cold. Including your insulin if you are a diabetic. What else?

I used to send out an email when I got the T-shirts for TDP and most would pick them up at my house after work. Others would pick up the T-shirts at our station at the event site around 7am.
