<DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Attached is the latest revision to the Comms Roster for
the 2009 bikeMS: The Citrus Tour event. Please note your assignment and
the information that I currently have for you. If a cell phone number is
not listed for you, please forward this information to me if you would like the
number published.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I am expecting a determination and final decision on the
location of Rest Stop 6/1 in Osceola County tomorrow. Once that has been
finalized, the latest revision of the Route Map and Cue Sheets will also be
published.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Rest Stop 2/5 in Polk County has been finalized. It
will be located at "The Barn". an antique dealership and citrus processing
business located on S. Central Avenue just South of Cox Road in
Alturas.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>A lot of emphasis was placed on recruiting Bicycle Teams
for this year's event. This means there may be large groupings of riders
along the route and, as you might expect, large groups of riders will hit the
Rest Stops, Lunch Stop in Dundee and also show up at major intersections.
All SAG drivers should exercise extra caution when approaching large groups of
riders as they may be riding several abreast.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>The riders will be released from BOK Tower on Saturday and
the Caribe Royale Resort Sunday in several flights. The first flight each
morning will include the top fund raisers for this year's event. The
second way will include the top fund-raising teams followed by one or more
flights of the remaining riders. All riders in a given TEAM will be
released at the same time (50 mi, 75 mi and Century). Rest Stop 4 in
Dundee will likely see some riders very early Saturday morning.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>We will be working closely with Polk Co. deputies and
Orange Co. deputies to make the release of the riders each morning as smooth and
safe as possible and with as little disruption as possible to vehicular
traffic as possible. On Saturday morning, we will need ALL SAG and
GREENWAY units at BOK Tower by 6:15 AM for release onto the route by 6:45
AM. Several SAG operators will be positioned along the roadway leading
from the Starting Line to help control the release of the riders. All SAGs
and GREENWAY operators will also need to be ready to roll Sunday morning by 6:45
AM unless instructed to remain at the Caribe Royale by the Command Post or
Director.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>As the riders approach the Finish Line Saturday, we will
be positioning operators along Poinciana Boulevard to monitor rider
progress. KJ4BET and KD4MRL will be working as a team to give the Orange
Co. deputies a heads-up on riders approaching the major intersection of CTH 535
& CTH 536 near the Finish Line.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>If you have a handheld, portable radio, please program the
Net frequencies (444.95 [+] 127.3, 443.100 [+] 103.5) and our Traffic Control
simplex frequency (445.950) into the H/T and bring it with you.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Finally, there will be a Coordination Net at 7:00 PM on
Friday, May 15th on the NI4CE system. For those in the Orlando area, we
are asking Mike-N4HHA to link the 443.100 repeater to NI4CE for that
Net.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>On behalf of the MS Staff and all the people this bicycle
event benefits, thank you for volunteering and participating.</FONT></DIV>
