Lancaster Country Ride
What a fantastic rally! Thank you to everyone who came out to ride in our annual Lancaster Country Ride on Saturday, April 12th. We were happy to see you all and hope you had a wonderful ride. There were approximately 1000 riders this year and we were happy to have it tagged as an MS150 training ride.
As always, a huge thank you to the city of Lancaster, the surrounding towns, business and property owners for allowing us to bring so many riders to your area. We appreciate and thank those local bike shops, law enforcement groups, vendors and HAM Radio Operators for donating their time, staff and products. A gigantic thank you to the GDB members and friends for all the time and manpower you donated to make the rally the best yet! Because of you, we were all successful and had a fun and safe event.
From the Lost and Found Department: One pair of reading glasses/bifocals found at a rest stop. If these are your glasses, please contact president@greaterdallasbicyclists.com.
We welcome any feedback and look forward to seeing you next year!
