ANSWER: You make a gigantic full sized statue of Bill with his bike, and you put it in a prominent place in San Diego where everyone can share the stoke called “Bill!”
That's what’s going to happen. It’s still a secret from Bill for now, but we would like to invite you personally to come to the unveiling May 14, 8:00 am Ski Beach at Vacation Road.  As long as Bill actually does not find out about this, he will be there to led the Three Wise Men (3WM) Memorial Ride. This is a great endeavor all by itself. The 3WM Foundation is a non profit organization led by Nathan Fletcher that addresses head on, the very troubling high rate of suicides among military men mustering out into our civilian world.

The 3WM Memorial Ride is one component of a super weekend centered around the Amgen Tour of California (ToC) which starts the very next day for the first time ever in San Diego. See the full weekend event details below.
Bring yourself and friends for the 8:00 am unveiling on Saturday May 14. Let’s try to give back to Bill just a little…there’s no way we can do more for our favorite San Diegan!
