Hey All,

After that quick ride after 8BALL's detail day, I'm really pumped about the May Missouri Hills drive. Hope the weather cooperates. That was fun

 

Saw this thread about using two-way radios on last year's fall colors tour.

Does anyone have a set of two-way radios for the Hills of Missouri run? I thought we had a pair of some cheap-o brand a while back and will now look for them...

 

Ron,
I have 4 small radio's that that I can being. About a mile 3/4 mile range

I have 2 Unidens... Good up to 6 miles. These radios are great especially for group rides. Makes unplanned stops much easier to control.

Everyone bring theirs and we should do well.

 

Yep - we had at least three once.

The kids have denied knowing anything more (they had them last - drats!).... still looking.

 

The two-way radios do work great for these types of events. I've got a couple. My are getting aged though. Saw Target (mid-rivers & 94) is clearing out the 5 mile two packs of motorola's (nimh) with the charger for $35.95 (25.95 w/o charger) in case anybody lost their's. I just bought those for a gift a year ago for at least $80.

 

The kids seem to have absconded with our set

The deal at Target sounds excellent! We bought ours a long time ago and they were >$80 if I remember correctly.

 

Check out the updated information in the first thread of the Hills of Missouri Run

 

Eric was cleaning an area in the basement and found our three two-way radios. We'll get the charged up with new batteries for the trip.

 

Just purchased some "Mapping Software" yesterday to get some decent maps of our route layed out. WIll be sending information to those participating in the next few days.
