Fri Jun 3 09:15:59 EDT 2011

Hi Folks!
Here is the final version of the route cue sheets. 

See you on Sunday at 7:00 AM at Bergen Community College.  

We should be done about 1:00 PM.

Additional volunteers adults, Scouts or Venturers are welcome!

We can always deploy additional Amateur Radio Operators!

One additional note
bring a chair that you find comfortable.

Thank you again for volunteering for this event.  

It’s good to see such a good core team for events like this.    

Our plan is to gather in the main Bergen Community College parking lot at
7:00 AM on Sunday, do a briefing and then head to our assigned positions if
they are not at the college.  

We will be using either or both the 146.955 (PL 141.3) or 146.835 repeaters
during the event.  

We also need more SAG operators either to ride in an existing SAG vehicle or
to provide one.  

Other operators would be welcome as well to send to some key intersections.

Please wear lime-green, orange-accented safety vests (as is used by Passaic
County RACES/ARES and Venture Crew 7373 & Troop 139.  Also, orange
hats/helmets would also be useful.

“B” uniform shirts and either pants or shorts with Scout socks.

Based on the Thursday 10:23 AM Pinpoint forecast update, for Central Bergen
County NJ, issued by the NWS Upton NY (details by hour below) , the
following is the expected weather scenario for this Sunday's Bergen County
Bike Tour event.
Temperatures should start the day (6AM) in the low to mid 60's, rising to
the low 70's by 10AM, then to the mid 70's by Noon. Dewpoints will be in the
mid to high 50's during this period, meaning a non-humid day.

the early AM shifting slightly to the S and Se towards Noon.

A Slight Chance of Rain will be in the picture from 6AM thru 8PM, and a
