Frank, Kim (author of the letter) was just referred to me by a cycling activist in Charleston. We're in the process of connecting with Parkersburg activists to see how we can coordinate our efforts and resources.
At Max's Challenge I was also uncomfortable with police cars escorting us, however I'd be fine with police on bikes doing it and I'm going to recommend it for next year's event. The uphill challenge will feature a different student, planning is now underway if anyone is interested. Nick

Bicycle Board Members,
This may give us some good ideas although the idea of police escorting cyclists and stopping motor vehicle traffic kind of rubs me the wrong way. But, these people are definitely well organized and effective.
