The 2022 Heatstroke 100 ride is Sunday, August 28, beginning at 7:30 am. The Strategic Air Command and Aerospace Museum on Hwy 66, east of Ashland, will be the hub for three road loops stretching from Greenwood to Louisville and incorporating the Lied Platte River Bridge (MoPac Trail).
More information about the ride, along with maps, is available at greatplainsbikeclub.org/heatstroke-hundred.
We will be using the Ashland repeater, KØASH, 145.310(-). A mobile radio is required for this event.
An online sign-up form is available at forms.gle/HYD4mxFj1Uz7s9c58.
The sponsor of this event, Pirate Cycling League (PCL), heard of us through people who know us and informed the PCL team how well we work with events such as these. In their email to me, the event organizers were very excited for us to help, so much so they are going to feed each Ham volunteer at SchillingBridge. Also, they are going to make a donation to LARC in appreciation of our event support. So please keep this date open. With this many participants, I need all hands on deck! Arr! I will have more information at the club meeting, but please, if you are willing to help, contact me ASAP at k0shc13@yahoo.com.
The second event, the Heatstroke 100 bike ride, is just a week later on Sunday, August 29. Yep, the folks at Great Plains Bicycling Club again have asked for our help with their day-long event. The participants start and finish at the Strategic Air Command and Aerospace Museum, on Hwy 66 just off of I-80. Our job is to keep riders safe and possibly SAG them or call for a SAG to come get them. As is in the past, the Great Plains Bicycling Club has made a generous donation for our time and efforts supporting their event. They also feed us brats!
I will have more information about both of these great events at the club meeting. If you are willing to help, contact me ASAP at k0shc13@yahoo.com.
Keep in mind we have some events coming up for the months of September and October, and more information will come in next month’s LOG. Hope to see many of you out there doing what we do best — communicate and keep people safe for the fun of it!
The Cornhusker State Games are happening July 16-25. The Games have requested the assistance of local hams with communications and lunch deliveries.
If you can help out, please sign up at https://bit.ly/LARC-CSG. (This form is only for Amateur Radio volunteers. All others should contact the Cornhusker State Games office.)
Thank you for volunteering!

Many people celebrate National Donut Day on the first Friday in June. It was started by the Salvation Army in 1938 to help those in need during the great depression and commiserate the work of the “Donut Lassies,” who served donuts to soldiers in World War I. Donut Day is the symbol of the comfort that the Salvation Army provides to those in need through its many social programs.
