The MS 150 Bike Tour
July 14th and 15th of 2001

It's a wrap!

These web pages serve as a historical reference to the 2001 Bike Tour.

 

This web site is dedicated to providing information about the MS 150 for amateur radio operator volunteers.

The Amateur Radio coordinators for this year's event will be

bulletJerry Cassidy NØMYY - Coordinator
bulletRick von Glahn NØKKZ - Asst. Coordinator (Web, Databases, etc.)
bulletLuci Stansberry, NØOUD - Asst. Coordinator (Colorado Springs Area)
bulletSteve Swearingen, KØKYB - Asst. Coordinator (Cañon City Area)

Click on either Luci's or Steve's name above and a new email addressed to me (N0KKZ) will open. Enter your comments and send the message and I'll forward it along to them.

Your input is solicited. If I have neglected to include some type of information you think relevant to this site, or you have a criticism to make go to the feedback page.

If you have arrived here hoping to find the Colorado Chapter of the Multiple Sclerosis Society click on one of the links below. Clicking on the MS logo at the top of each page will take you to their site too.

If you are a Rider looking for information about the MS 150 check out the above pages and also go to Bill Horger's excellent Riders Resource Page.

Amateur Radio operators can volunteer their services for the ride by going to the Volunteer Section of this web site. We will start recruiting heavily sometime in either April or May.

Click on the selections to the left for further information on each subject.

Information and Photos from last year's ride are in that bottom category, "Last Year". If you have never volunteered for an MS 150, you can get a feel for the event by browsing through the pictures and viewing the assignments.

These pages will be updated sporadically over the next few months. Once we close in on event day, the assignments database, and repeater information will be updated as needed.

Your time is a valuable resource and is certainly a substantial contribution to the MS Society. However, you might also consider a financial contribution to them as well. That's between you and the MS Society. Use one of the links above to make contact with them about that.

MS 150 2001

Jerry Cassidy (NØMYY), and I (NØKKZ) would like to thank Luci Stansberry(NØOUD) and Steve Swearingen NØKYB for their efforts in filling out this year's roster. They were solely responsible for the assignments south of the Lunch Stop on the first day and just about everything on day two. Without their efforts I don't know how a couple of guys from the Denver Metro Area could have ever pulled this off. Thanks Luci and Steve from Jerry and myself and from the MS folks who know of your service.

We also want to thank the Rocky Mountain Radio League, the Pikes Peak FM Association, the Cañon City Repeater Groups and the folks from Pueblo for their generous permission to use many repeaters on their systems. Thanks to Luci and Steve again for obtaining permission for the south end systems.

Privacy Statement

We will only publish you name and amateur radio callsign on the web site specifically to the Assignments Page. And that only if you are assigned to a position on the tour. This is necessary as everyone participating on the event will want to be able to print out lists of each operator and their assigned location for reference during the event. No contact information will be published whether you want it here or not. It's just too much work to keep that type of info updated. Get on the mailing list if you wish to let people know your email address. And go to the list web site and fill out your personal info so people won't have to guess the real identity of  the subscriber who's email address is "du4ddduu_ej4@somedomain.com".
