We did not make it out of the House of Delegates - the vote was 48 to 51.
This is really hard. We made it out of a HOSTILE Transportation Committee.
We fought and tried so hard. So many people put so much into it. Y'ALL are
included in that group. Thanks to each and every single one of you.
Bikers in Virginia are not finished yet!! We're going to take a little time
and digest this. And then we're going to figure out what we need to do
differently next year. And then we're going to get busy and do what we need
to do. Anything worth having is worth fighting for. And we LOVE a good fight
;-)
Thank you again.
