| Activity Description |
Communications support for the MCBC Dirt Fondo, an annual mountain bike event that starts and finishes at Fort Cronkhite in the Marin Headlands. The 45-mile route takes cyclists on a challenging journey that climbs and descends a number of ranges before an ascent to the top of Mt. Tamalpais. There will be turn-back options at the 5, 10 and 16 mile marks, creating loops of 10, 20 and 32 miles. Participants have most of the day to complete the ride. |
| What Will Be Expected | Hams staff fixed locations along the trail. Monitor and report the first participants by bib number through a location (in each direction), and monitor the last participants progress. Report any participants who need assistance or who drop out. Please supply your t-shirt size, when signing up.Please use and respond to your tactical designator. If we utilize trackers, Net Control will monitor their progress. Sweeps will close the course, staying behind the last runners. EMERGENCY TRAFFIC ALWAYS HAS PRIORITY. PLEASE STAND BY UNTIL THE EMERGENCY HAS BEEN HANDLED |
