ALL OF THE 2008 VOLUNTEERS/STAFF WORKED TIRELESSLY FOR MANY HOURS.  The many emails thanking these hard working individuals for lunch, rest stops, sag, registration and administration is testimony to their Awesome and Outstanding Performance.  Many of this year's Volunteers stepped up at the last minute to help.  This year the Redlands Bicycle Classic Pro Stage Race was scheduled the same week and weekend as the Hemet DC. This event creates a 500 plus volunteer need that put us at great risk for covering our volunteer needs. I personnally want to thank each and every one of the volunteers. Their sacrafice and outstanding preformance made the event a happy and successful time for all.
