Part of our plan to get a Mississippi IC3 spoke started is to increase the awareness of IC3 and what it represents.  On June 27 the local bike club (Jackson Metro Cyclists) sponsored a metric century ride around our local big lake (Ride the Rez).   We had brochures describing IC3 and samples of some of the gear available to members.  On the support side we had portable fans (the temps were pushing 100) and tools to make emergency bike repairs.  We got to drive one cyclist home to get his spare car key.  (He had locked it in his truck with his hydration pack!)  We also diagnosed a strange freewheel problem on a participant's bike. 

Several people signed up to be added to our email list and get IC3 info.  Our newest member (Ken Thomas) was there and helped with the tent.
