Parade info

To all:

Concerning the St. Patrick's Day Parade.

We will meet/park at Cedar bike(Scranton Store) for the NEPMTBA/Dirt Rag Biker Build Off/St. Pat's parade and then ride about 1 mile to Scranton and into our location in the parade on Saturday morning. Right now "estimated time" is between 9 and 10 to meet at Cedar bike, this might change and a follow up email info will be sent. You can ride along with us and don't need to have a Biker Build Off bike. You can ride any bike or even walk with us. This is a lot of fun and we get to be together and enjoy the event! Bike riders please try to bring at least a spare tube, (Shamless plug!... LOL. You can grab one at Cedar bike)as I had a flat last year, and I will have spares and a pump, but the more the better!

Please pass this on to one and all.
