I would like to thank George KCØBH for handling the net control duties and his able assistant Terry KIØFW. Ken KAØJSW and Jim KCØANQ for coordinating the event and Jack WØJEM and Keith AGØH for picking up and setting up the Communications trailer.
A big thank you to all the other members that showed up and did an excellent job of communications and control for the event. A total of 797 (+ or - 5 percent) bikers passed checkpoint Delta, the split between the short route (35 miles) and the long route (71 miles). The weather was perfect for biking and the food at the rest stops was great. Al WØRC, BAARC President
