I propose the first annual Great Midwest Ride the Middle - a celebration of all us not-so-big dogs. Open to everyone and anyone who can get to Milwaukee on some yet-to-be-decided day soon.
10 bucks a person, 50 miles (at whatever average speed you would like), money goes to LAF or Children's Hospital or something like that. Bananas, bagels, and donuts in the morning, beer and spaghetti aftewards. Hip will be the chairperson (thanks for volunteering Hip) and plug the ride on his show. Sounds fun, right?
