Great Lakes - Lafayette, IN, Bikers ride for CASAs for Kids 7/27

Anyone in the Lafayette, IN, area (Tom Stormcrowe, I'm looking at you!) looking to help out a great cause, check out this article from the Journal & Courier (http://www.jconline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2007706280305) for the 300 miles in 25 hours challenge to raise money for CASAs for Kids.

Riders are welcome to join in on the first lap of the ride.

"How to help

I will be there too, I am one of the 300 mile riders. Should be a great time.

Did ya make it? We had great weather and a nice flat course. Probably the two best rides were by Travis Dorsch and Bree Studenka. Their longest ride had been about 50 miles, but yet they managed to crank out 300. We managed to raise about $15,000. Hope they make this an anual event.

Yep, I was there for the first lap in the drizzle on Friday and then along with my brother helped pace Rick for 30 miles during the 2 pm Saturday shift.

My brother took middle-of-the-night shifts helping to keep the 300 milers going through the darkness.

I can't imagine doing that loop for 300 miles. After 3 times through I started getting confused on just how many times I had been around!

I'm going to see if my brother wants to team up for 300 if they do the event again next year. I don't live in Indiana, but was glad to help out the cause, for sure.

Rick and everyone, apologies about not getting by! I had a family situation come up and couldn't break away. Congrats on the good ride though!
