Our Volunteers

MACSAC really appreciates our volunteers for the Bike the Barns fundraising bike tour. Volunteers are needed to help before, during and after the ride. Our volunteer positions range from staffing rest stop tables, picnic set-up and take-down, SAG wagon teams, to pre-ride postering, shopping and more.

If you or your group would like to become part of this spectacular event by donating your time and energy, please download the volunteer application form with your interests and availability, and send it to MACSAC, PO Box 7814, Madison, WI 53707 or email it to bikethebarns@gmail.com.
