We will plan to host one meeting per week leading up to this year's ROS on May 20. We will need to do an inventory and assess the condition of current ghost bikes, since our route typically passes several. No route has yet been determined. Please attend the meeting this week (see Tom A.K.'s comment below for details) if you would like to provide input and help with scouting possible routes. Thanks!
