The weather is looking ideal!
Bryan H and Josh S just finished marking every turn, so you should be able to glide through every intersection!!

The rides serve as reminders to the public that bicyclists have the legal right to co-exist on public streets with drivers, to remember we exist, and to watch out for us.

Hi everyone! I wanted to let you know that we received 3 messages via FB, saying about the same thing re: the NC Extravaganza event: "Hi folks I bought 2 tickets earlier but unfortunately I won't be able to make it, anyone willing to have the tickets at a discount please like and message me thanks." I checked each sender and none actually bought "tickets" so obviously this is yet another rip-off attempt. Be cautious out there!!
