Waco Wild West Century Bike Ride

HOTARC provides radio communications in support of this annual event that involves several hundred participants and volunteers. This year's WWWC is scheduled for September 27, 2008 at Indian Springs Park in downtown Waco, starting at 8:00 am. This day-long event accommodates riders of many abilities with courses of varied lengths: 10 miles, 25 miles, 50 miles, 65 miles, and 100 miles—all of which are supported by rest stops, SAG vehicles, and, of course, radio communications.

We will need many volunteers for this event for stations at the many rest stops around the course. Although this event is quite "planned," it is an excellent training opportunity for a real disaster that would require radio communications from remote locations—all reporting back to a Net Control. This is a chance to use the skills you've learned on the weekly ARES Net.

Here are the 2007 maps (until we get the 2008 versions, which won't be very different).
