Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

Great! Have a blast on the ride! I'm doing the 75K road ride and then finishing out the last 25K on the speedway.

Does it seem odd that this is the same day as the RAIN ride? Both rides going through (by) the same town. What gives?

I know. I was going to do RAIN, but decided this was more important to me.....being a diabetic myself!

RAIN ride. There will be a large contingent of BF'ers there (2-5 from BFNIC). Tom you could always ride the RAIN and send a check into Tour de Cure.

I would, but I have some corporate donations contingent on mileage in the event that don't appear on my TdC page that total some pretty significant $$.

Get them to sign up for $/mile and THEN ride the 160 mile RAIN. Everyone wins!

I am doing the Green Bay Ride. I have done it for the last five years. At least they have moved it to June so we do not have to ride in the snow. I have also ridded the Chicago ride in Dupage county. It was nice to ride with the large groups and the after party was great.

If I placed an Ad in the wanted section on Craigslist asking for donations with a link to my personal and team pages, would it get flagged and removed? I'm not sure I'd get any donations that way, but I figure every little bit helps.

Sounds good. As soon as I know for sure, I'll post what I'm riding. Looking at a new to me bike this week.
