[ReCycles Bike CoOp]

Rachael & All,

Greetings from Arkansas! We would love to attend a more local bikebike-ish
conference. The AR based bike coops were planning a group trip out to Cali
this summer, but with gas prices going through the roof, a regional
conference would mean more of our volunteers could participate.

Be sure to keep us informed.

Thanks
