We have a couple of volunteers so far, but need more. Bike4Bikes (B4B) is put on by Northeast Community Cycles, a 501(c)3 dedicated to promoting bicycling as a safe, fun, healthy form of exercise and an alternative means of transportation for both children and adults. To date, they have donated well over 2500 bicycles to deserving adults and kids. http://www.necommunitycycles.org/ B4B is pretty much the same routes as the Bloomin Metric and will run from about 7am until about 2pm (with some stations shutting down earlier). Although technically not a Sound Cyclists event, most of the people who manage the B4B event are the same people who manage the Bloomin Metric. Last year B4B had over 300 riders, and they're hoping for 500 this year. Coverage of B4B has been a joint project of the clubs in the area. We are going to need at least 12 operators total, so please do what you can to participate. If you can't participate from 7am to 2pm, please contact me because we can probably accommodate you for whatever hours you can give us. Many of the coverage positions will be mobile in vehicles supplied by the event - so the people providing mobile support will need to be able to move their radio and antenna into/onto the event vehicles. All mobile stations will need at least 25 watts (50 watt radios preferred) with externally mounted 1/4 wave or 1/2 wave antennas (mag mount). People at most of the rest stops will need at least 25 watt radios with decent antennas - for example, something mounted on your car. We have some spare radios among the participants, so if all you have is an HT but want to participate, we may be able to arrange it. Please contact me ASAP if you would like to participate. 73s Jon, WB2RYV From jon.perelstein at gmail.com Mon Sep 14 09:38:12 2015 From: jon.perelstein at gmail.com (Jon Perelstein) Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2015 09:38:12 -0400 Subject: [CTSARA] Low Price 2Kw Inverter Generator Message-ID: Available at http://tools.woot.com/offers/wen-2000-watt-inverter-generator-7?utm_source=Daily+Digest&utm_campaign=19f72362ac-Daily+Digest+-+20150914+-+Woot&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_c5ca76da11-19f72362ac-278201917#tracked Woot is one of those services that sells excess inventory, and the deals are usually available only for the day (in this case, today Sept 14). 73 Jon, WB2RYV From svj58 at optonline.net Wed Sep 16 20:48:02 2015 From: svj58 at optonline.net (Steve Urso) Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2015 20:48:02 -0400 Subject: [CTSARA] Hands For Life 2015 References: <5DA1FA5C-5833-482A-9648-D63B231162CD@optonline.net> Message-ID: > From: Steve Urso > Date: September 16, 2015 at 8:46:14 PM EDT > Subject: Hands For Life 2015 > > UPCOMING HANDS FOR LIFE EVENT > For the general public to attend. > STAMFORD > Westhill High School > 125 Roxbury Rd, Stamford > Sat, September 26th > > 9.00am - 3.00pm > >> Any question contact me.

This ride benefits an organization that provides refurbished bicycles to inner city kids as well as adults who need transportation for work. It's run by a local couple (they live in Stamford) and have been able to give away about 2500 bikes over the past few years. The ride itself is essentially the same as the Bloomin Metric, but fewer riders (they hope to hit 500 this year). We will be in operation from about 8am (0800) to about 2pm (1400). A few people will be able to leave earlier, a few people might wind up hanging around for an extra hour or so if any riders are really lost. Anything you can do to help out would be appreciated - you don't have to participate for the full time.
