2021 Bikerday Update

Considering the current large group gathering restrictions in Minnesota, we must face the possibility that the State Capitol complex may be closed to the public for some time into the future. ABATE of Minnesota is expecting that the 2021 Bikerday at the Capitol, scheduled for January 20th, may need to be rescheduled or cancelled. At this time we do not know how Covid related regulations will affect the 2021 Minnesota legislative session. This will be decided in early January.
