VeloCity 2021

The organizers for VeloCity 2021 have reached out to us for Volunteer Motorcycle Marshals to support this year's charity bicycle ride.

This appears to be a very well organized and supported event.  It looks like there will be 10, 25, 50, 62 & 100 mile routes, with riders leaving at staggered times to keep participants safe during the pandemic.  Between SAG, Rest-Stop, Medical & Team Moto (that's us!) there will be 50 to 60 mobile units covering all routes.

Routes will be available soon via Ride-with-GPS and all riders & support units will be using the RaceJoy app to provide the organizers with real-time location information.  This app also provides an emergency button to call in support to a specific location.

The first riders are expected to depart from the Chattahoochee Hills Event Center on Saturday May 1st between 7am and 7:15am.  This event will feature HAM supported Net Control & Command Center located at the venue.

I will be sending out more details and USA Cycling Volunteer Forms to those of you who have already expressed an interest in this event.  And we expect to have a conference call via Zoom with the organizers about a week before the event, to ensure we understand how they wish to deploy Team Moto.

Event Recap! Publix Atlanta Marathon March 1st, 2026 We provided four Motos to support the Publix Atlanta Marathon this year. It was a 12 hour day of riding around downtown Atlanta, providing tactical support to the Race Organizers with real-time updates, checking the route, and supporting the Aid Stations. We were able to demonstrate that non-HAM Motos can be effective, when paired up with a HAM Moto or being directed via Mobile Phone by Net Control.  Save the Date!
