From reviewing the names for the comms volunteers, it looks like we still need support for the LaGrange to College Station rest stops for this year’s TX MS 150 ride.
-
The ride is planned for May 1st. Unlike past rides that were Saturday & Sunday, this year they are planning a one-day event on Saturday.
-
Strict COVID safety guidelines will be in place — at or above CDC guidelines.
-
They’re shooting to have 100 Austin teams.
-
The start for Austin riders will be out of LaGrange: 6:45 - 8:30am start times.
-
The rider bus from Austin will leave at 6:00am and get into LaGrange ~7:15, for 7:45 - 8:30am starts. The busses will run at half capacity and be well-ventilated.
-
Riders from Austin and Houston will all finish at Texas A&M’s Kyle Field.- Including the start at LaGrange, we’re looking to staff six (6) stops on the LaGrange → College Station route, with two operators per stop.
-
VHF/UHF will be used for communication along the route.
