The Governor's Office of Highway Safety has it on their website too.

Naturally, it's on Friday, I'll be working.

Hey, Ron, did you say, "Free Food?" Maybe I can take some leave on Friday...

Yes Pete. FREE FOOD and drink (non-alcoholic ) compliments of Fox Sports Grill at Atlantic Station.


As a further enticement, Mayor Shirley is "supposed" to be there along with City Council members, representatives from the Governor's office, and several other big wigs.

BTW: It has to be on a weekday. Politicians don't do weekends.

Well, I couldn't really come back to work full of beer!

I'm glad they seem to be putting their weight behind it. That's all good for us!

'Sollright. Mebbe I can take a long lunch hour. It's not far from my workplace, and I'll be riding my bike to work Friday, so I can roll up on my bent and be "legit." Hope the workload allows.

Might see you there, Ronnie!

Arghhh, I have to work to and I would feel weird about borrowing a car to drive down there during lunch to celebrate bike to work month. Maybe I can take a vacation day?

Pete and bikebuddha, I'll be looking for you.
I'll be riding my commuter. See my sig if you want to know what bike to look for. Or look for my tats. They may stand out in the crowd.

Sigh, it doesn't look like I can get off.

Call in sick. The weather is going to be awesome.


from our director: Please come as early as 10:30 if you can, but I know some of you will be squeezing this into your day as it is. If you arrive near 11am, I suggest you skip signing in at the registration table, and go directly to Ron's flag and Share the Road t-shirt station on the far end of the park near Rosa Mexicana restaurant. He will get you set up to be part of our colorful ride leadership team, if that's where you'd like to ride. The ride will start right after two proclamations and a few remarks from officials.

Well, what was it like, Ron?

I had forgotten that Friday was "Take Your Daughter to Work Day" at my job. So I drove in and ate lunch with my "bud."
