I know others who have been touched by, and taken by, cancer, but I think two is enough.
I am also seeking donations, anyone interested, use the link in my signature.
Hopefully more BikeForums,net riders will join in as well. I rode the shortest ride last year due to a comedy of errors, but it was still fun... even if the ride was done about the time I had finally warmed up well.
Very cool... Last year there were a TON of riders for all the distances it seemed. A great turn out it seemed.
Last year I ended up having to switch off the century ride and walk the 5K last instead 'cause I destroyed my wrist two weeks before the ride (9 screws & a plate in my wrist). This year I'm hoping things turn out differently and I'll be on the bike instead
I was very happy to see the ride back in Philly this year... kind of like a 2nd chance. Although I wasn't all that excited about the location of the walk - walking through a couple community college parking lots isn't all that interesting. At least the rides get people actually over into Philadelphia.
