Ron Randy Stillwell B Pack Chairman and I would just say that uh I I think the status of bicycling and bike riding in our county is good today. Uh a lot of good progress is being made. More trails are being developed. We're having discussions about widening those uh uh sides the shoulders of on the roads in in the places where people ride. So we're moving in a good direction. So thank you.
Thank you. And um yesterday uh we had um Sebastian in from Germany. uh who we who we met on our trip and I uh I guess the PEDC uh folks drove him around um some of our communities And his first comment to me was, Wow, I cannot believe all these wonderful trails that you're building here. So I mean he noticed right away how we were focused on bike trails and he thought it was absolutely wonderful. So they have trails all over Europe. They don't go along the side of the road though. They they they
go along the road, they're not smushed up like ours, but then they go through the countryside too. Uh anyway, that's my own thief. Uh so I am um very excited to give you guys these Parchments will come down and take a picture. I don't know why Tina isn't up here. Uh but we'll come down and take a picture. Board members? Y'all have to ride your bikes this month.
