“Re: RE: PMC: The Right Words, At the Right Time”

Riding in the PMC is a someday item. Probably not next year, though. I'm planning a 21 day Tour from Idaho to New Mexico to hopefully raise some money for MADD for next May. Nothing like the Rocky Mountains to make a man on a steel Trek feel like a little sniveling pansy.

I have never donated to help someone ride in a bicycling event, because I don't know anybody, personally, that rides in any such events. I've always wanted to do the AIDS ride, but circumstances always spank my buttocks somehow. Some of my friends over here have expressed surprise that I don't and I've expressed larger measures of surprise when they indicate they'd have been willing to donate.

I should really start riding in some of these things. I've never been on a group ride with more than four other people before. Much less the thousands you guys ride with on your rides.

I'm glad I could help out. I hope other people step up and cough up some scratch too. Cancer research breakthroughs don't just fall out of trees every day. They require time, money, and patience.

Have a good ride and post someone ahead on the route with a digital camera to snap you hammering in action. Or spinning.
