This year’s event will take place on Sunday September 15th. The start and finish is again at the Northern Essex Community College sports complex, Haverhill, Mass.
There are (4) routes planned, a 100 mile, 62 mile, 35 mile & 15 miles long. Most will overlap each other. The final routes are still being worked out but will run through similar areas as in years past. The start times for each route vary, starting as early as 7:30 AM and the event closes at 4:00 pm. Some routes will take as little as 3 hours to complete where the longest would take a full day.
We are looking to fill the positions of route support in such that there would be at least (1) vehicles per route. All route support vehicles will be offered equipment and instruction on the day of the event.
We are also in need of Amateur Radio Operators at (7) different rest stops. Of the seven (7) rest stops locations again are in: Boxford, Georgetown Groveland, Topsfield, North Hampton, Kensington and Amesbury. The open close times of these stops is being calculated but should not be longer than (4) hours. Bike marshals are also needed for the 15 mile route which is local to the start/finish.
If you have time available to help again with this event, it would be greatly appreciated. All are welcome at the finish for food and the celebration of the days event.
Please RSVP regrets and/or confirmation that you will be able to help. (Even if I have already talked with you)
If you know of anyone who would be willing to help, please forward this note to them and have them contact me.
Regards,
Ross Chapman
Route Support Coordinator
