I may have a suggestion for one of your signs. Unfortunately I don't know my road names, but the following occurred on one of your well cycled roads going into Elm City. . . . I rode with the Rocky Mount crew Saturday morning. On the way home we were going down this road toward Elm City (I could probably find out the name if you wanted me to.) when we passed a turtle. One of the guys stopped to assist the turtle to the other side of the road. The group slowed, but continued on in a slow roll as we waited for the Good Samaritan. I heard a loud noise behind him. I looked back and a red pick up was gunning his engines and flying up behind this last rider. He skimmed by this rider very close and was headed our way. When he got 100 yds or so behind us he laid on his horn and held it down. Then just before he reached us he turned into his driveway. (He didn't even have to pass us! In other words, we weren't even in his way.) Apparently just seeing cyclists provoked great hostility in this red neck! May have been abused as a child by a guy/or gal in spandex. Be careful and beware. I'm glad I was not alone on that road that morning. Kinnie

The City of Wilson has their signs on the boards right now and will be using them until October. Don has one that he is going to use at the store. I could get boards made and painted to put the banners on if someone has a piece of property they would be willing to host a sign on. Maybe one of the city services, like the police department, or fire department would let us put one up. If anyone has ideas, please reply!! Thanks and happy riding!
