On Friday, June 2, twenty Post-9/11 Warriors and their spouses or significant others took part in a rehabilitative bike ride on the Shining Sea Bike Path in Falmouth. This year’s ride, a couple’s ride, was focused on re-bonding the Warriors with their partner from home, rebuilding trust, healing and the emotional needs that have been affected by their service. The Warriors came in from all parts of the country. (description courtesy Falmouth Military Support Group, https://www.fmsgrp.org/)
Falmouth Amateur Radio Association (FARA) provided communication support for this event. Net control was setup in the FARA communications trailer at the North Falmouth start of the ride. Ralph, N1YHS and Mel, KC1ELB acted as net controls. Eight other FARA members were stationed along Falmouth's Shining Seas Bike Path: Gene, KX1C; Jeremy, WA1JRC; Jay, WB4KYW; Randy, K1RCO; Harold, N1ZTV, Phil, KB1DOS; Henry, K1WCC; Larry, W1IZZ.
The course map, courtesy of Ralph, N1YHS, is shown below, along with a few photos of the riders arriving in Woods Hole. Henry took the opportunity to give his grandson some radio operating practice.
Thank you to all the FARA members who spent the day supporting this event.
