A last-minute scheduling conflict has caused a slight change of plans for the upcoming “Wheels in Motion Workshop.” We will now be meeting at Luther College’s Center for Faith and Life (in the Recital Hall) at 9:30am for the workshop on October 23rd (same day). Lunch will be provided at 11:30am with optional on-bike demonstrations and a group ride to follow.
The online registration and Facebook Event are now updated with the correct time and location, as is the information below and attached. We hope to have at least 3–5 representatives from each county (Allamakee, Clayton, Fayette, Howard, and Winneshiek) participate.
