SUMMARY:Mad Gravel Race - Elbert County\, CO
DESCRIPTION:Elbert County is where you want to be to celebrate Labor Day weekend this year!\n\nLocated just south of Kiowa\, Colorado\, the Mad Gravel Race is a series of events that are held over the Labor Day weekend each year.  ARESDEC is proud to provide communications support and weather monitoring for Elbert County OEM and the event sponsor.  There are three races of different distances\, described below which participants can join: \n\n\n\nHemi Hustle: 30 miles\n\nAt 30 miles\, the Hemi Hustle is the best route for those that want a great sampling of the region while still enjoying the unique roads and views of Elbert County. On 100% gravel roads\, this amazing course delivers the Hemi experience in a condensed form. While you get a custom number plate\, it is not a competitive event. This is the shortest route\, but know you still will conquer a very challenging course.\n\n\nHemi Five-O: 50 miles\n\nAt a hefty 50 miles\, Hemi Five-O is slightly less sadistic than its parent. Plenty of mileage while still enjoying an epic tour of the eastern plains. Prepare yourself for some awe-inspiring moments while you take in a great panorama of Colorado’s high peaks. Pikes Peak alone is stunning in late spring with its snow-capped summit. Fully supported with an aid station in the middle so you can pack light.\n\n\nHemi: 100 miles\n\n100 miles of pure bliss. The Hemi will cover over 6400 feet of climbing while topping out at 7300 ft. This course is a perfect blend of all the killer gravel roads in Elbert County. While you’ll get wide open power sections\, expect some climbing that will test the legs over this distance. Wind in May east of the Colorado front range? Yeah it’s likely. 3 aid stations to serve your hydration and nutritional needs.\n\n\n\n\n\nMad Gravel celebrates another great year! Located south of Kiowa\, Colorado\, come enjoy the amazing views and high peaks of the Colorado front range. Bring the family\, camp\, and join us for some amazing racing\, live music\, daily award ceremonies\, cycling tours and kids events. For you Front Rangers of Colorado\, driving east is a lot easier on your sanity than heading to the mountains. Why go west! \nTake advantage of great camping options Friday\, Saturday and Sunday night at the McNeil Ranch at Peaceful Valley. If you haven’t been to this part of Colorado\, you’re in for a pleasant surprise.   See our website for more information. \nARESDEC is proud to provide communications support for this event each year!

DESCRIPTION:Riders!  START YOUR ENGINES!      Ready?   GO…..\n  \nTwice a year\, the Rampart Range Motorcycle Management Committee sponsors a non-competitive Poker Run for off-road motorcycles (no ATV’s) and riders of all ages. There is a short course (approximately 15-25 miles) and a long course (approximately 50-55 miles). Riders of all abilities are welcome. Prizes are awarded on the basis of the poker hand you draw at the final check point.  The Fall Poker Run is not a race\, it is an EVENT!   \nThis is a non-competitive event and the 5 prizes awarded for each course are based on the rider’s luck in drawing one of the five highest winning poker hands consisting of five (short course) or seven (long course) total cards at the final checkpoint.  It’s truly a wonderful experience. \nARESDEC will provide tactical communication & situational awareness for the event staff\, Douglas County Search & Rescue (DC SAR) and event participants.  We provide: \n\nAPRS/LoRa tracking\nCheckpoint communications\nForward Observer embedded in the course\nObserve Poker Run operations\nReport any emergencies\, medical issues\, to DC SAR\nReport any disabled bikes and rider activity like first rider through\, sweeps passing through the checkpoint\n\nBackground:  The Rampart Range Spring Poker Run is planned and run by the RRMMC (Rampart Range Motorcycle Management Committee).

SUMMARY:Colorado State ARRL Simulated Emergency Test (SET)
DESCRIPTION:ARRL’s annual Simulated Emergency Test (SET) is traditionally scheduled for the first weekend in October each year.  Each state can adjust that schedule based on local needs. This nationwide exercise is the chance to test personal emergency-operating skills and the readiness of communications equipment and accessories in a simulated emergency activation.  The ARRL’s Amateur Radio Emergency Service ® (ARES®)\, the National Traffic System (NTS)\, the Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES)\, SKYWARN\, Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)\, Salvation Army Team Emergency Radio Network (SATERN)\, and other allied groups and public-service oriented radio amateurs are among those who are eligible to participate in the simulated exercise and to practice emergency operation plans\, nets and procedures. \nThis year the Colorado ARES Section will organize a coordinated communications exercise for all Colorado ARES regions and districts.  The scenario and injects will be a combination of both state and local level variety.  The annual exercise promises to test our radio skills and equipment abilities.  We may operate from our served agency’s EOC\, Hospital’s Emergency Radio room\, physical or virtual shelter\, and from our home QTH. \nWe will be using a combination of tools including Winlink (different modes)\, HF\, VHF/UHF\, NVIS\, SSB\, etc. \nIt’s a great opportunity to participate as if it were the real thing!  Stay tuned for more information as we get closer to the event. \nPlease contact Training@aresdec.org for more details or to participate.
