Horribly Hilly Hundreds

The Last Wednesday comes a little early this month!

We will meet for our monthly In-Person Dane/Iowa County ARES/RACES meeting on June 24 at 7:00 pm at the Dane County EOC at 2982 Kapec Rd, Fitchburg, WI 53719

If you are unable to attend in person please see below for the links to attend virtually.

I am still building the agenda but a couple things that we will discuss will be:

• The items on the Horribly Hilly Hundreds Post-mortem (no, nobody died)
• Dane/Iowa ARES/RACES team application
• Severe Weather Activation
• Reminder on how to connect to our weekly Net meeting if propagation is difficult

We have created a “curated” list of items for the post-mortem discussion. I am not publishing the address here because, you know, THE INTERNET! If you would like to add to the existing items, Good, Bad or Ugly, please send your list to “me_at_ k9unz.me”

Please let me know if there is anything I’m forgetting

73,
Jeff K9UNZ

My, my look at the time!

The 2026 Horribly Hilly Hundreds will ride on June 13, 2026 out of Blue Mound State Park. (Officially) the first riders set out at 6:45 AM and can arrive back at the park as much as 12 hours later. We have 4 rest stops and as many as 7 water stops (if I am counting correctly). In addition to needing communicators at the water and rest stops we will need SAG (Support and Gear) drivers with bike racks and Net Control Officers at the park to manage communications. If you are willing and able to help staff this event please fill out the information form and let me know how you are able to help.  Remember, we get fed after the event and SAG drivers get reimbursed mileage. We also have access to some loaner equipment for those who might need.

The registration form can be found here: https://fillian.net/hhh2026
