We’re down to the wire for this event, and still need more ham radio operators to help us.  This year, the organizers are asking hams to drive SAG Trucks (donated by local dealer) instead of riding as a passenger in someone else’s car.  We’ve got about 11 Motorcycle Safety Marshalls committed. 

We need to staff about 5-6 Rest Stops (5 rest stops, 1 water stop), plus 4 SAG vehicles, a turtle vehicle and the Start / Finish.

The event starts / ends at the La Vernia City Park, just of Hwy 87 in La Vernia, Tx.  Take Rigsby Road / Hwy 87 due east from Loop 410 and you can’t miss it.   Three routes to cover, 32, 55, 80.   Free food from EZ’s at the finish, Free beer as well.

If you want to volunteer, contact Lee Besing by email info@sanantoniohams.org or phone at 210-771-7075 (cell)
