I did the 62.5 mile ride last year. Me and my friends laughed at all the roadie riders we passed on our full suspension mountain bikes.

It was a good time and very well organized, I’ll be doing it again this summer.

I really wish I had a nice bike to do this, this year.

As always, when you have an immediate family member fighting, it really hits home hard. I would love to contribute 😕

It costs $10 to register and you need to raise a $100 by the day of the ride or pay it out of pocket that day.

You have plenty of time to get a bike Tom… I really hope you decide to ride.

I’m also riding for my grandfather who passed a few years ago to pancreatic cancer…

Just throwing this out there if anyone wants to donate a dollar or two I would really appreciate it. I’ve not raised a cent yet because I’ve been slacking and have yet not shared my fundraiser link. Guess now is a good time to start…lol
