MS Bike – over 2400 cyclists and a few hams!
We did it again! Each day last weekend, a small band of hams covered 4 different routes, 7 rest stops and well over 100 miles of roads in and around New Bern, NC in support of the annual MS Bike event. That works out to about 13 SAGs, 7 rest stop operators and a handful of shadows and others, or about 25 hams in all.
Was it fun? Absolutely! Worthwhile? Of course! To quote Gary, KN4AQ, from a few years back, “Where else can you go and play radio all weekend and do something worthwhile at the same time?”
This is one of the biggest public service events that we support in NC all year. As great a job as we do each year, it would be so much better if we had more hams participating. Think about it and plan on helping out next year! At the very least, reserve a hotel room very early, even if you’re not sure. Best to book a room by Christmas for next year!
