They were such a hit!
MARS Picnic was a success
Not surprising that it went well with several terrific volunteers. There were some concerns in that it was in a new location to most members. Once there, and finding where to park, I think they found it to be a terrific location choice. Several members walked there!

Napa Valley Ride to Defeat ALS on Sept. 24th
If neither of the other local events this day catches your attention, the ride to defeat ALS in Napa Valley is on September 24th of this year. Maybe you know someone who suffered with ALS. Here is a link to the Ride Page that has information on routes and elevations as well as times when each ride starts. If anyone would like to join up for SAG they can email Edward and he can add you to their list.

David Bike Club remarks
To All,
On behalf of the Davis Bike Club, I want to thank you all for turning out and helping to make the 2022 Davis Double Century a success after its 2 yr. hiatus. About 270 riders started the ride around 0500 and only about 7 elected to take a ride all the way back to Davis. The last riders returned around midnight.
The saddest news of the day was late that night learning of the passing early that morning of Doug KF6AKU scheduled to be SAG12. He had been a long time SAG, rest stop, net control volunteer and a mainstay of the Marin Amateur Radio Society.
Thank you all again for turning out and hope to see you at the Foxy’s Fall Century 3rd Saturday in October.
Regards,
Dave

Nice note from Ridge to Bridge event
I was your sole “customer” that day since my derailleur jammed on the section with no cell reception…and the “sweep”rider came to assist, and I had to coast back down Bobcat where I got the SAG back to lunch, and the mechanic fixed my bike. THANK to YOU guys, my safety would have been further jeopardized if we did not have those walkie talkies and your radio service! THANK YOU!!! Kim
I was so impressed with the caring and efficiency of how many people checked in on my well being at the lunch stop! It was so nice to know I was being “tracked”. I am impressed with how serious everyone took their job and in return, helped me! I would have still been on Bobcat trail to Marincello pushing up the rest of the hills into Tenesee Valley!
Signed, Former Damsel in Distress, happily eating chocolate chip cookies to refuel for leg #4!

Miwok 100K
Thanks for sending the photos, Michael!
And a HUGE thank you to all of the MARS radio personnel at Miwok this year. (Please forward to the whole crew so I don’t miss anyone.)
We just could not do this event and know that all our runners are safe without you. The partnership between MARS, our Timing Captain Lisa Heinselman, and the Timing company (Negative Split Racing) is golden, and I look forward to many more years working with you.
Every year I hire a bagpiper to play on the knoll at Cardiac at dawn as the runners reach the top, and it is epic and inspiring. It always reminds me of my father, who was a long-time member of MARS and really enjoyed working races with the group. His memory still inspires me and he would be proud of all of us for our work in the outdoor community. Thank you again.
Yes, as Rob noted in his email, not everyone has the ability to be flexible and roll with all of the crazy (plane crashes) things that happen at events. You all are very good at that.
My best regards,
Tia
