May 1 will soon be here. As you may very well have noticed, this year, the Legislator’s Ride is on the same day as the Walkable Bikeable Delaware 2013 Summit, which gives you the opportunity to attend both. These are two separate events, however, so if you plan to attend both, it’s important that you sign up for each one separately. Just as Bike Delaware is providing logistical support for the WBD event, the Delaware Bicycle Council is responsible for the logistics of the Legislator’s Ride. We need to know whether you need transportation back to the start and when you need to return as well as your t-shirt size! So if you will be participating in the Legislator’s Ride, take this as a friendly reminder to please make sure to register by going to http://www.deldot.gov/information/community_programs_and_services/bike/
