All,
Club President Mark Johnson (W5PTX) is doing a bang-up job of getting our Tour de Paris matters completely organized. I wanted to update this post and add some details. These details are to give participants a place to go for support documentation, upload pictures, etc. It also gives me the chance to ask for some help.
I am looking for action shot type pictures, can you help me with that? The starting line is always a good one. See this example from 2004:
Here is kind of a backwards version of what I want:
Rather than a trailing picture I want a shot of a long string of cyclists from the front.
If you are in position where you can take some of those, please do and then follow up with me. We can post some here of course, but I am looking for 2-3 really super good pics to use in our marketing material, on a future dedicated Tour de Paris web page and in a scrolling cue of pics on the home page. You know, you have seen how we do the Christmas tree and stuff like that. I don’t want to pay for stock pictures when we can do our own. Unless you don’t want it will mark them with your name and call sign so that everyone will know who took the great pic!
We also have some paperwork to share:
1) Click here for an instruction sheet for filling out the ICS-214 that the Club uses to document what we did during Tour de Paris.
2) To me the ICS-214 has always been a little…daunting. I took one, got on the phone with Jerry Keisler (WA5KZA) and said “Jerry, help me out here would you?” He was happy to. We filled out the form with my information were relevant. Click here to link to the ICS-214 filled out for you. If you open the form and delete my name and rest stop, fill yours in and then the activity details that Mark asks for in #1 above, easy-peasy. Or, print it out and use it as a guide to fill out the form in #3 below.
3) Click here for the link to a complete ICS-214 – Print it at your option, but if you just use the one I provided in #2 above, you will be speeding things up and simplifying things for yourself.
4) Click here for the link to a list of the rest stops and who is where.
Here is the map:
If you think of anything else we need to add here, please add it. Or call or write me and ask me to add it.
