Description: Fellow Hams:

I have had the pleasure of working with most of you at many public service events (Bike to the Beach, Ride to the River, BPMS150, Water Safari, Bandera 100K Run, etc.) for several years, so when I was asked to organize amateur radio support for a new bike ride I accepted knowing that the local amateur radio community has a long history of supporting these events.

We have been called upon to support PedOLPHest, a bike ride similar in size to the Wildflower ride. More information about the ride itself can be found at www.pedolphest.com. The ride will have 4 routes, 15
mile, 30 mile, 60 mile, and 100 mile. It will have 8 breakpoints along the route and starts and finishes at OLPH church is Selma, TX.

The route is primarily in Guadalupe county, but also includes Bexar and Comal counties as well. The ride will be held on May 29th in support of the OLPH school. We have been asked to provide operators to cover the breakpoints, start/finish, and a few key shadows at this point. Depending on the HAM response we may cover the 8 SAG’s as well. This is the first year for this ride and they are excited to hear what the HAM community can do to support their efforts.

If you are interested in helping with this ride, please contact me with your info. The details are still be hashed out, but I do need to get an idea of what support we can offer.
