I gave out the route the several “new friends” who I got to know in the days leading up to the ride in a number of ways: 1) interested coworkers, 2) employees at retail establishments with whom I have had a long-term acquaintance, 3) members of other clubs I belong to, both cycling and non-cycling clubs, and 4) a few people who took the time to have friendly conversations on the day-of or day-before the ride when I was wearing a “BIRD” tag on my shirt or jacket.

Do I know for certain that none of these people were miscreants on the ride? No. But my invitees I did see on the ride were most certainly following “how we ride” by all appearances.

The maps was available for BIRDs to distribute on late Tuesday night before the Friday ride. That gave me a lot of time to spread it around.

Comment: Route Scouter Sept 17 at 10:11AM, posted a spreadsheet that was unfortunately removed due to spamming…
This spread sheet was like a sign up, for where along the current route help was needed…. corners, entrances, intersections, parking lots, trash cleanup..etc… I think a collaboration of what your inquiring with this direct sign up would be good! See if Route Scouter has the original doc’
