We’ve spoken with Gordon to confirn that he and Barry are handling the 2009 event, and are looking to recruit more hams to help with this event. Unfortunately since it is the same weekend as the BPMS150 (Houston – Austin BikeMS) ride, several of our regular volunteers will not be available.
We suggest that if you DO want to work this 1 day event, and get another free t-shirt in the process, contact either Gordon or Barry to volunteer ASAP.
