Thank you to all of our 2010 volunteers! 

Volunteer for TDP 2011!

Come volunteer for the best event in Baltimore--Tour dem Parks, Hon!  From traffic directors to food preparers to registration aids, we need you in any capacity. You don't have to ride the ride (although you get to for free before/after your shift), and you get to spend a Sunday afternoon in the park at one of the best picnics in town!

Below is a listing of who we need to do what. Please sign up early, as the free ride and picnic is a big draw to volunteers and spaces fill quickly. You also get a free t-shirt, with our annual top-notch art design.

Contact Elizabeth Leik ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) if interested. See you at the park!

  • Registration:  Show up early, enjoy the day! From 7-9 a.m., help sign up the few riders who haven't done so online. Help with paperwork and answer a few questions (we'll fill  you in on what you need to know). Then ride the ride if you want, or spend the morning eating the rest of the bagels. Needed--10 volunteers.
  • Traffic directors:  There are two to three stops along this ride that require a little guidance. You and another person will help riders cross the road safely. You will be provided with vests and hand signs as you guide riders to their next destination. This job is done in shift so that you don't have to spend the length of the ride at your post.  Needed--10 volunteers
  • Picnic prep:  Help us set up for the best picnic ever! Set up tables, plates, napkins, and condiments for the burgers. Some kitchen work for salads and snacks will be done in the kitchen, but nothing that requires Julia Child-like experience.  Needed--10 volunteers
  • Runners:  Better than a go-for, you are the one who keeps the drinks flowing and the food supplied. You monitor the food area, collect supplies from the nearby stable house, and make sure everyone is having a good time (and they do!). Often the picnic prep people stay on to be runners because it's just that much fun.  Needed--5 volunteers
  • Clean-up:  We all clean-up, even the riders. Still, it's nice to have a few extra hands to see at the end just how successful this ride is. Needed--open number.
