From some other outside sources the feedback of who will ride to visit Josiah looks promising. I have contacted around 50 riders and I know my friends are spreading the word. I wouldn't be surprised if 300+ riders show up. That would be outstanding.

Please keep us updated on this with pics of the event for those of us who would love to be a part of it, but due to distance can't be involved.
