Great Scott ride canceled for 2019
From the website:
Thank you to the County of Sacramento for providing the bulk of the funding over the last 8 years of the Great Scott Bike and Walk Event.
As a past participant, I had no idea the amount of pre-planning and day-of-event staffing time required to successfully host the Great Scott Ride.
Sadly, due to funding issues and hiring freezes, the County of Sacramento was forced to make a very tough decision to cancel the 2019 Great Scott Ride.
Many thanks go out to those who rallied for sponsorships and funding this year. Sadly, it just wasn't enough to make the ride happen.
Stay tuned!
We do hope the ride returns in 2020 and for many years to come.

A ride named after me, and I didn't even know it existed until now.

Haha, I think @Scooper is a Stan, though.

The website has had a superficial update: no event for 2020 either
