Our next major event is the Tour of Saints Bicycle Tour on Sunday, July 20, 2025!  We need at least 16 club members to help with a variety of roles: staff one of the three rest stops, handle on-the-road communications, or support the riders in vehicles supplied by the event organizers. All you need is your radio and a willingness to lend a hand!

If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Chris Schulz, KC0YFX, at ctechy@yahoo.com

The St. Cloud Amateur Radio Club has proudly supported this event for many years, providing essential communication services and ensuring the safety and coordination of riders and volunteers.
