Please read Kasey's message below and the attachments. Dennis Strawn's membership letter provides a good concise summary of WVCC's genesis and current status.
Kasey's also asking us to invite our state senators and representatives to join the legislative bike ride in Charleston Sunday Oct. 20th 3:30-5:00 pm. It would be good if the senators and representatives were accompanied by competent cyclists who understood and could persuade them to enact the WVCC legislative agenda (repeal FTR & MSP, pass 4-foot passing bill). Do you know who are our state senators and representatives? Will you invite them to the ride and go ride with them?
