Subject: Looking for Coe Epic Ride Leaders and SAG drivers
Folks,
We had the meeting at the Tied House tonight. I am coordinating the
ride leaders and SAG drivers. We need more of both.
There are various ways of riding the Epic apart from doing the whole
shooting match. The entire epic is 28 miles and 6,000 feet of
climbing, and smaller variations are possible. We are hoping to be
able to provide a variety of smaller distance rides for those
interested in a guided experience. Ride leaders will get Coe maps (to
keep) and detailed instructions concerning the loops they lead. Ride
leaders will be invited to the pre-ride/course marking weekend May
5-6.
SAG drivers are needed. SAG stands for Support and Gear. While SAG
drivers will not be able to ride, they will also not have to ride. 4wd
high clearance vehicles and first responder training are recommended,
as well as bike racks and seats (DPR regulations require seats for all
passengers in State Parks). Vehicles such as crew-cab pickups and SUVs
are ideal. The role of the SAG driver is to patrol dirt roads and
assist riders who need/request assistance with mechanical, medical,
food, water and transport needs. This could also include assisting in
evacuation. The patrol routes are defined. SAG drivers will be invited
to the pre-ride as well.
In other news, I have word that Felt bikes will be available for demo
at the event, from our remote support station run and staffed by
Sunshine Bikes of Gilroy.
Over and out for now. For further details please write me.
Thanks,
Paul

I am working on creating wildlife habitat that is off-limits to
humans ("pure habitat"). Want to help? (I spent the previous 8
years fighting auto dependence and road construction.)
Please don't put a cell phone next to any part of your body that you are fond of!
