Happy Memorial Day

We hope you have a great Memorial Day. We remember all those who gave their lives so that we might enjoy our freedom. We're thankful for your sacrifice.

As many of you know, friend and fellow rider, Susan Gerred was struck and killed yesterday while on her bike.

We would like to thank each and every person who has reached out to express their respects for Susan during this time. She was a special person who will be missed.

It is our understanding that the funeral will be held in Quanah, TX which is the hometown of her parents. There are cards here at BikeTown that all of you are welcome to sign and express your thoughts and regrets to her family. We would like to deliver the cards on Saturday.

Blessings on all of you during this time.
