I am really excited about Bike!Bike! — it’s rolling up soon! In order to make things run smoothly for everyone, we’re going to need some more of you lovely Louisvillians to open your homes for the weekend. Please fill out our housing applicant form– so far, we have more folks registered than we have spaces to put ‘em! This is awesome, but we want to make sure everyone has a place to sleep.

Thanks so much!

Take care, y’all.
