In order for Paul to ride more like Voekler, he'll have to get a full zip jersey and unzip it all the way so that it flaps behind him in the wind... Comparing my kid to a guy that wore the yellow jersey in the Tour doesn't bother me in the least ;-)
I did know that the video showed us crossing the line. That's two years in a row that they've caught us finishing. Pretty cool!
Oh, and there is no way that my "5" boys will join me in the PMC since Sandy and I only have four. Believe me when I tell you that we're done having kids! Yikes, I can't even imagine... Still, it would be fun having all the kids join me, but by the time Peter is old enough to ride Billy will probably have a $10,000 minimum fundraising requirement.
So far, Paul and I have raised almost $10,000. He's done $4,000 by writing to his friend's families and his teachers. Pretty good for somone without much of a network.
I'm hoping to get out for a ride this afternoon.
Steve
