Hi Steve,
You can try scanning the QR code in the 1 pager if the link
<https://forms.gle/aznZ26hS3GkLnZ9r7> is not working for you. You can learn
more about our stopover work
<https://vtecostudies.org/what-we-do/projects/bith-cycle/stopover> here,
but this project is brand new so no web presence yet.

Thanks all!
Desiree
