We don’t care what you ride or if you ride, what your political views are, or whether you’re a hawk or a dove. It is not a requirement that you be a veteran. It doesn’t matter where you’re from or what your income is; you don’t even have to ride. The only prerequisite is Respect.
Chris' mother has asked if there is a rider who will be willing to meet her at the entrance and lead the family to the shelter with the urn. Bike either has to have a second person, or a place to keep the urn without shifting.
