NOTICE TO ALL DRIVERS AND RIDERS  We want everyone to feel welcome on our group rides so the only flag allowed to display is the American flag. No rebel flags, nazi, political or other countries. We want to show a united front an honor the country many have served and died for. This is not a political statement and should not be taken as one. We want everyone of all religions, ethnic groups and political views to ride together in peace. Thank you.
