So this is the day Trek decides :) So I check my email essay to them and ... it doesn't *have* my phone number. Welp, I'm at work, (217) 353-2056 if you're checking my blog :-)
We had an interesting "new member welcome" ride last night - four new folks and two of them pretty strong riders. Hopefully we'll see 'em out there!
And "this just in" my email... Greetings Everyone!
I just talked with Ed Barsotti and he told me that this bill passed unanimously and is on its way to be signed by the governor!!! Whoohoo! Jot one up for our side!
