Note: Heavy lifting!
The Rubbermaid Rustlers are a group of women and men, who, as a team transport all Bike Rally participants’ personal gear to Montreal in cube trucks. We provide two Rubbermaid bins per person on Packing Day and work together to load and unload those containers on and off the trucks throughout the week. Believe it or not, that's 800 bins twice a day for 400 Riders and Crew. Over six days, that’s equivalent to 9,600 bins! We prepare campsites by setting up massage tents, moving picnic tables into the dining areas, and setting up other equipment/supplies as needed. In Kingston and Montreal we make sure that belongings get into our place of accommodation. Upon completion of the Bike Rally, we transport bicycles and supplies back to Toronto and work with the other Crews to get supplies back into storage and get the vehicles gassed up and back to their rental locations.
