To Past SOC Volunteers, SBCARA Members, other interested volunteers and neighboring Ham Radio groups The 2022 Lifetime Sea Otter Classic will be held on April 7-10, 2022. Help from amateur radio operators has been a vital resource for communication in the Fort Ord National Monument backcountry and the Gran Fondo ("Great Endurance") Carmel Valley Route. Thank you to those of you who have volunteered in the past. The Lifetime Sea Otter Classic attracts thousands of athletes and spectators and is now regarded as the world’s premiere cycling festival. The areas where we assist have little or no cellular or repeater coverage. It is an excellent opportunity for demonstration and practice of emergency communications and help build readiness for a real disaster. This year help will be needed for the following times: Thursday 4/7 - Enduro Support - Morning through mid afternoon Saturday 4/9 - Gran Fondo Carmelo (Carmel Valley Route) Support - Very Early Morning to Early Evening Saturday 4/9 - Back Country Support - MTB Fuego 100K Saturday Backcountry Radio - Very Early Morning to Early Evening Sunday 4/10 - Back Country Support - MTB Fuego Sunday 40K, Robles Tour & Gravilla Gravel Race - Very Early Morning to Early Evening Camping is available directly from the event (https://www.seaotterclassic.com/camping/ - subject to availability and sells out quickly - some campgrounds are already sold out) or we have the option of camping for no charge in the Laguna Seca paddock. Ham radio operators will be primarily working radios including ham radios and/or commercial/public safety radios (i.e. You may be asked to coordinate on a public safety frequency to guide in an ambulance while the medic provides care). We'll always try to pair experienced hams with new hams as needed. First aid and course marshal support will be provided by National Ski Patrol as in the past. Please let me know as soon as possible if you're interested in volunteering. We'll need a volunteer waiver signed and we will have more details available soon. Volunteers receive a volunteer T-Shirt, a pass to the Sea Otter Classic Festival (a $70 value), and a lunch. Please note that the times and details are subject to change, but we will keep you updated if you volunteer. Please keep in mind that end times are estimates. In most cases the event will end earlier, but if we have a significant incident, demobilization may go much later and especially in the backcountry, exit routes are closed to vehicle traffic during the event. Updates will be available at http://sbcara.org/otter (It is still early and this page is still being updated for this year - 2021's information is here for reference).
