Yes, please do let BFW know if you can host a rider in Madison the night of
Friday, Feb 23. Just don't respect us to respond too quickly, because,
frankly and unfortunately, housing for the Frozen Snot riders isn't very
high up on my priority list at the moment.

Perhaps this has already been mentioned...but the Frozen Snot Century (this
year tackling the Bratwurst Triangle) folks will be looking for homestays
and BFW is supposed to be helping coordinate those...
If people can provide a place for someone to stay, let BFW know...

On a happier note than some of the recent Bikies traffic, here's a great
mid-end of winter event!
I am passing on this message from our Milwaukee friends in case anyone
would like to join the intrepid riders while they are in Madison.
In the past, this ride has been only between Milwaukee and Chicago. We are
thrilled that they have decided to visit Madison as well. In addition, if
you would like to participate in the ride, I'm sure they would be glad to
welcome you. John Greenfield in Chicago is the principal contact. Jessica
Weinberg in the Milwaukee BFW office is the main Madison contact. I'm not
sure who is doing the Madison connections, but you can call the Bike Fed
office to find out, or to offer a couch/bed.
