Tierra Bella is a bicycle tour through South County starting and ending near Gavilan College (5055 Santa Teresa Blvd, Gilroy, CA 95020).

This is different than a drill or parade. Here you will be directly working with individuals directly who need your help. It’s the best kind of one-to-one activity. You will end the day knowing that you made a difference.” -R.R.

ARES Communicators are needed to staff the communications Incident Command Post (ICP), up to 15 SAG vehicles, and 5 fixed locations along the route.  Please refer to the individual job descriptions for additional information.
