Frederick ARES and The Frederick Amateur Radio Club will be providing
communications for both the Tour De Frederick on Aug. 15th,  and the Gran
Fondo Bike Race on Sept. 20th. We need operators with a mobile or HT 2M rig
willing to man the checkpoints/timing stations listed during the event.
We'll plan on using the FARG 146.730 -  (PL 141.3) repeater for both events.

 

For Tour De Frederick, here are the checkpoints and times:

 

There are three rides on Saturday 32, 62, and 100 miles.

100 Mile starts at 06:30

62 Mile starts at 07:00

34 Mile starts at 08:00

 

Radio operations would probably commence at about 06:30 at Deleplaine, and
continue until late in the afternoon once all of the SAG vehicles have
reported clear.

 

There are 6 sites if you include the Delaplain Visual Arts Center as the
start and finish area. The rest are:

Rocky Point Creamery 4323 Tuscarora Road, Tuscarora (09:00-11:00)

Rocky Ridge Park on Motter's Station Rd, MD 76 (07:30-10:00)

Rinker Family Front Yard at 7627 Utica Rd, Thurmont (09:30-14:00)

Sachs Covered Bridge on Water Works Rd Gettysburg, PA (08:30-11:00)

Emmitsburg Community Park on Willow Drive (09:30-11:30)

 

Rocky Point Creamery is used as the rest stop for the 36 miles ride. It is
the only ride and rest stop south of Frederick.

 

The 62 and 100 miles rides head north, and the 100 miler goes up to
Gettysburg.

For the locations with longer hours, we will try and limit the shifts to 4
hours. As always, you don't have to be a member of ARES, FARC, or MADXRA -
just a ham willing to lend a hand.

 

Please let me know if you're available and what assignments and times you'd
like. Thanks.

 

73,
