American Diabetes Association Tour de Cure - June 18, 2005. This is a bike tour to benefit the American Diabetes Association, with 25, 50, and 100-mile routes in the east mountain area (exact route to be determined). They had approximately 100 riders last year and are aiming for 200 this year; they predict half will ride the century and the other half will divide about evenly between the 25 and 50-mile routes. We will need 2 meter mobiles to cover the road and mobile or, possibly, handheld units for the rest stops. I have told the organizer that I would try to recruit enough people to cover this event and if I could get enough we would do it.
MS150 Atomic Tour - August 6-7, 2005. This 150-mile, two-day bike tour - a fund raiser for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society - has had its originally announced dates changed and has a new route this year: Bernalillo to Los Alamos for an overnight, then return to Bernalillo. It is an out-and-back course on NM 550 (formerly NM 44) and NM 4 through the Jemez Mountains and past the Valle Grande.
La Luz Trail Run - August 7, 2005. A perennial favorite event for very hardy runners and for hams who like to hike with their HTs to positions along the trail and watch those runners struggle by. Easy positions at the bottom and top also.
