2. Bicyclists, PLEASE BE ON TIME! We don’t want to miss you (although we will likely be pretty easy to catch up with, or you can meet us at the second meeting spot or the performance venue). Florence performances only have one meeting spot.
3. Bicyclists, if you don’t already have one of the collaborators’ phone numbers, contact us for Kelly’s number in case you have day-of questions. Also contact us if you need Kelly's address.
