A map will be posted. Folks will be at Daley until a little past 7 with maps, too.

Will a map be released ahead of time? (just concerned i may not get to Daley Plaza on time and might need to catch up late)

thanks

Hi Everyone... last minute need for a ghost bike to tow in procession with us tomorrow night. Anyone able to help?

This bike would represent all fallen riders who either do not have bikes and whose bikes are not part of our route.
