I have been asked to help find hams to assist with communications for the Americans with Diabetes Association Tour de Cure bicycle ride. The ride Includes several routes from 7 miles to 100 miles covering much of southern Rhode Island. They would like to finalize as much as possible by the end of this month or the beginning of next month. It is a great event and the riders are very appreciative of our assistance on the courses. If you are interested in helping you can email me or Al Roda.
Al can be reached at aroda@nullrisd.edu if you have questions.
If you know any other hams that might be interested feel free to forward this email or let me know.
