Good evening all,

The MS Ride is going to be taking place this Sunday, and thanks to all of
those who have volunteered so far, we had just enough coverage to fill the
schedule. Unfortunately, I found out earlier today that they are adding one
more rest stop to the route, and we are now one person short. If there is
anyone willing to help out, it would be greatly appreciated. Since this
will be at a rest stop, there will be no need for a background check.

Sam - NV1P

Yesterday, members of the Greater Norwalk Amateur Radio Club (GNARC) and
the Stamford Amateur Radio Association (SARA) and the combined forces to
provide communications for the MS Charity Bike Ride. The ride encompasses 4
routes (10 mile, 25 mile, 50 mile, and 75 mile). Our task was to coordinate
dispatch of assistance to riders in the case of mechanical failure or human
injury. With 150 riders, there was only one major accident, one reported
flat tire, and one person who needed shuttle service. This years ride
presented particular challenges to volunteers and riders alike since this
was the first year the particular routes were used.

Thanks go out to (in no particular order):
Tina KB1UOB
Marc KB1YYN
Donna KB1TGW
Chris KB1QXR
Rob K3PUG
George AB1QK
Steve KB1YLQ
Marty  KA1WBN

Extra thanks go out to Jon, AI1V, Terry, WB1JBO, and Mike, N1PLH. In
addition to being net control, Jon also acted as a SAG driver at the end of
the ride. Terry had signed up to be a SAG rider, but ended up using his
personal vehicle twice for calls. Due to miscommunications internally
between the MS Ride volunteers, Mike ended up being the only full time
support vehicle on the road, and covered quite a lot of terrain over the 7
hour event.

I am personally grateful to all of those who gave up a significant portion
of their Sunday to help out with the event. Thank you to GNARC for use of
the repeater.

73,

Sam - NV1P and Jon - AI1V

Hi all,

I just received an email from Michelle (who heads up the ride), and she
asked to pass this along:

I thank you all for your support of the National MS Society and our
Stamford BIKE MS event. Without your donation of time and that of your
talent and expertise we could not have pulled off what was a safe and well
run cycling event. I am hoping to work with all of you again and until
then?.wishing you all the best for the coming year.



Most Kindly
Michelle
Giving support to these events is very worthwhile, and I encourage everyone
to participate as much as possible. We have the ability to make a positive
impression pertaining to the importance of our hobby on so many people at
once.

Case in point, we had a visitor to Field Day who thought I looked familiar.
After some thinking, it turned out she recognized me from the Bloomin
Metric. Before the revelation, she could only stay for a few minutes, but
after 2 hours and passing on some information about licencing, I think I'll
be seeing her again soon.
