Hi Mountain Biking!
Long story short - there is quite a strong chance that the 50 will
run during the coming spring. The weather this winter has been mild enough
that, come May, the conditions could be safe enough to actually do it! With
that being said, this is by NO means finalized - a ton can change between
now and May that could make the trails unsafe and therefore make a spring
50 impossible (i.e. a very rainy April, more snowfall throughout the next
few weeks, etc.).
The reason we are blitzing out is this: if the weather continues to comply
and there is a spring 50, WE NEED SPRING 50 DIRECTORS!
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN DIRECTING THE 50, HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:
respond to this email! There will be ONLY three 50 directors this
spring...if you're interested, you have a couple of options:
(1) Respond to this email stating your INDIVIDUAL interest and
application - in this case, you will be considered as an individual
applicant and if selected, you will be paired with other qualified
individual applicants
(2) Respond to this email with two others who you would like to direct with
(make sure that these two peers, CC'd on your email, are 100% committed to
directing) - in this case, your group will be considered EXCLUSIVELY group
merit.
After you respond stating your interest, we will be in touch with you
regarding an interview process to move forward to select the directors.
THERE IS NO WRITTEN APPLICATION - with that being said, ONLY RESPOND TO
THIS EMAIL IF YOU ARE COMMITTED TO DIRECTING THE 50. This is a commitment
that will take at least 10 hours a week through mid-May, with increasing
time commitment as the 50 approaches. ONLY APPLY IF YOUR SCHEDULE CAN
HANDLE THIS.
A few more complications/important things to note:
-it is important, for you, as potential directors, to know that while
having a spring 50 would be awesome, you could be put in a situation where
you would have to cancel due to rapidly changing conditions due to short
notice. As director, you would have to keep an eye on trail conditions
throughout the spring, and keep in touch with higher levels of the DOC to
make the final determination as to whether the spring 50 would actually be
feasible.
-as 50 directors, you are unpaid - this is entirely volunteer. However, one
important incentive is that applicants can forgo the lottery and hike the
50 automatically in the future
Last thing - please keep in mind that responses to this email are time
sensitive - we want to reach a decision on the spring 50 directors within
the first week of spring term to ensure that there is enough planning time.
PLEASE REPLY WITH YOUR COMMITTED INTEREST BY THIS FRIDAY, 4/1 SO WE CAN
START SCHEDULING INTERVIEWS THIS WEEKEND.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Best,
Terence Hughes, Wanda Czerwinski, & Mac Murphy - 15F Directorate
