Hams are still needed to fill a few key spots for this year’s BikeMS (MS150) event, being held on October 15th and 16th. The event starts in San Antonio at the AT&T Center on Saturday, ending that evening in New Braunfels. Sunday starts in New Braunfels, and ends back at the AT&T Center.
Spots still open are “Shadows” for event officials, police cars (ride in front seat, not back), and medical response vehicles. There may still be a few openings for SAG Drivers (Background check & DMV check required), SAG Navigators, or Rest Stop hams, etc. Shadows simply ride along & provide communications for their designated official, sort of like a SAG’s navigator but you won’t be loading bikes in the back. 🙂 Shadow positions usually start earlier & end later than other positions, due to the need to link up & install radios before heading out on the route.
