Santa Fe Century Bike Ride.
This is a 100-mile bike ride that begins in Santa Fe, heads south through Madrid, Golden, and Cedar Grove, then goes east to Stanley, north through Galisteo, and back to the starting point. There are shorter rides included in the route. See www.santafecentury.com . We have assisted with this event for a number of years. It is a large scale event that puts thousands of riders on the road. We need portable or mobile stations to be positioned at the start/finish area and at rest stops and mobile stations to cruise the course and keep an eye on the riders. Fuel expense will be reimbursed by the event organizers

Century Bike Ride.
After a successful inaugural operation last year, the organizers have asked us to support this event again. This is a 100-mile bike tour that will start and end at the

– La
Luz
Trail
Race.
This event is being coordinated by Jay Miller, WA5WHN, and Rees Bevan, WB5DEJ. Amateurs provide communications support for this annual race up La Luz Trail from positions in the starting area, at the finish, and from points along the course. I am told that there are enough volunteers to cover this year’s event, but Jay and Rees are looking for two additional volunteers with 2-meter handhelds who are able to hike the trail, to serve as backup communications people should there be a need to supplement or replace the current personnel. Contact Jay (wa5whn@arrl.net) and Rees (rees@dataterminal.com).
