There are ample volunteers available to "sweep" the

course at any given race. When I use to do Cat1,2

races I was often given the gift of being in a group

of 1 . . . off the back. My race was over and when I

came across garbage I'd pick it up.



My thinking is that most garbage is accidental and the

quicker it's picked up the less likely a community

member with an "axe to grind" is given a stone to

grind it with.



Most races (not just 1,2s) have people getting

dropped. If you're one of these people (and you

really think your out of contention) you can instantly

volunteer by sweeping the course. You may find

yourself the proud owner of a slightly used,

Cyto-sticky water bottle !
