4 Priorities Dangerous Intersections SAG/Rovers will focus on assigned intersections, and then rove/sag once a majority of bikers are passed. Traffic All stations will watch for and report dangerous traffic situations, so that the proper support can be deployed. Route is open till 4. We will reverse sweep the route at 4:00 pm, picking up ALL SIGNS. If riders are on the route, they will be notified that they are no longer supported.

5 Checklist Mobile Radio (Dual Band with Gain Ant Preferred) Handheld Radio (Dual Band Preferred) ANSI II Vest ($14 at Walmart) Lawn chair & Shade (Umbrella) Snack: in case you miss lunch Bug Spray & Sunscreen This Guide & Route Map Spare batteries Water Something to read during the quiet times Programming instructions for your radios Full Fuel Tank

6 Background This charity bike ride benefits KS & MO non-profit Mental health service providers. 400 riders expected. Start/Finish is at JOCO Mental Health Center at 6000 Lamar The rides will be routes of 10, 30, 50, and 70 miles. Six full rest stops. The course is in Johnson, Wyandotte & Clay counties so we will get a chance to work a wide area on a single repeater. Best of all is to have an opportunity to hone our operator skills while helping a large part of our community.

7 Start Time Riders will MASS start at 8am If you already have a specific assignment be on station at the time indicated on the roster, otherwise, check in at 0730 on the repeater. If you are assigned to a ride official (Shadow.) you need to find your person and get your gear set by 0730 Net Control will be on the air by 0700.

8 Assignment Types Checkpoints: monitor intersections where cyclists could miss a turn or encounter dangerous high-speed motor traffic. These operators are the ones the cyclists are most aware of, because they're plainly visible with their event window flags. They are greatly appreciated because they provide reassurance that help is near if needed. They're even more appreciated if they carry some drinking water for thirsty riders. (see later note). Please try to count the cyclists as they go by, and provide that info to NC when asked. Rest Stops: Communicate supplies inventory & rest stop status, as well as a count of cyclists. Medics: There will be an unofficial med rover on route,. If you see a medical problem call 911 and notify Net Control and assist if you feel able. Most common: skinned legs from a fall (treat with water & antiseptic) or bonking out from the heat (treat with shade and air temperature water until they begin to sweat again.) SAG : picks up riders who are "sagging" and won't/can't make it due to fatigue or injury. SAGs will be hams, and probably have APRS. They will service a section of the route in a loop, and can transfer riders to the next Rest Stop. If a rider needs assistance, contact NC with the rider Name, description & location. When not assisting riders SAGs may assist with Rest stop logistics (transferring food/water etc) will assist with Cider mill parking at 6am. Rover : move up and down the line of cycles, keeping tabs on where the front cyclists are and where the laggards are. They watch for cyclists in trouble -- those with cramping muscles, disabled bikes or other mishaps, including unfriendly dogs or crashed bikes with injured riders. Tail End Charlie : If you are asked to follow the last rider on any particular loop you will be known at Tail End Charlie. This is an important position as the location of the last rider on any loop is one of the most asked for pieces of information. This can be a tedious task but if done properly doesn t need to be. The best technique is to leap frog the last rider(s) as opposed to following behind them at 5 miles per hour. The follow behind method makes the rider very nervous and self-conscious. Shadow : Will tail various Ride coordinators, ambulances and other non-ham support vehicles and pass information between them, and net control. Safety : The liaison station to EMS, Sheriff, PD & Fire. Any non-critical calls for medical assistance can be directed through this station. Critical calls for medical assistance should be made by saying BREAK BREAK BREAK, and then notifying net control of the location, rider condition and description. 911 should only be called as a last resort.

15 Final Thoughts Thank you on behalf of Bike for the Brain, and ARES The hard work we all put forth for this event not only benefits the riders, but also is great emergency communication training for us. This event is as close to how a real emergency operation is run as we could ever devise. Having worked several of these as well as several real events I can tell you that no two are ever the same and there is no such thing as "too much training". Most of all, have FUN! This is just drudgery if we don t enjoy ourselves. Again... THANK YOU!!!! Brian Short, KC0BS JO CO ARES EC
