Demonstrating their commitment to public service, Sussex Amateur Radio Emergency Service operators played crucial roles April 27 in ensuring the safety and smooth operation of the annual Ocean to Bay Bike Tour.
Organized by the Bethany-Fenwick Area Chamber of Commerce, the charitable event attracted more than 2,100 cyclists, offering rides ranging from 10 to 100 miles.
ARES, consisting of dedicated ham radio operators, provided vital communication support along the various routes of the bike tour. The operators’ efforts included relaying rider progress updates and offering assistance whenever necessary, contributing to the overall safety and coordination of the event.
