ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL PUBLIC SERVICE EVENT

The Brainerd Area Amateur Radio Club provided communications for the 17th Annual Tour of the Lakes Bike Ride.

Almost 1,200 bikers enjoyed beautiful scenery and weather as they rode through the Brainerd Lakes Area on Saturday, June 3rd. The Paul Bunyan Cycle Club offered bikers a choice between a 37 and a 68 mile loop, both located in the Gull Lake area. Riders started at 6:00 AM and the last ones finished around 3:00 PM. There were no accidents or serious incidents.  As usual, the flawless performance of our members help make this event the most successful ride to date.
