June 7, 2008 – Albuquerque Century Bike Ride.

After a successful inaugural operation last year, the organizers have asked us to support this event again. This is a 100-mile bike tour that will start and end at the Heart Hospital near downtown and will follow a wide loop around the city. There will be shorter routes included in the ride. This list entry will be updated as further details become available. See www.abqcentury.com (currently being updated). We will need portable or mobile stations to be positioned at rest stops and mobile stations to cruise the course and keep an eye on the riders.

August 3, 2008 – La Luz Trail Race.

This event is being coordinated by Jay Miller, WA5WHN, and Rees Bevan, WB5DEJ. Amateurs provide communications support for this annual race up La Luz Trail from positions in the starting area, at the finish, and from points along the course. I am told that there are enough volunteers to cover this year’s event, but Jay and Rees are looking for two additional volunteers with 2-meter handhelds who are able to hike the trail, to serve as backup communications people should there be a need to supplement or replace the current personnel. Contact Jay (wa5whn@arrl.net) and Rees (rees@dataterminal.com).
