It’s Always the Right Time to Honor Our Fallen!

Posted by Doug On June - 21 - 2008

Greetings to all the riders and our thanks to all who rode to honor our fallen Heroes. Our son, Jeremy, was one honored in 2007. His best friend\’s son, Kaleb Basey, is starting in the morning on a cross country bike ride from Markleville, Indiana to Oregon. He\’s got a GPS tracker on him so that we (and anyone interested) can follow him as he rides.
He’s interested in doing the Memorial Ride next year. He and Jeremy were good friends as well.

Tracking information is at

and his trip routing is under his MySpace account.

If anyone along his route happens to see him riding, please give him a word of encouragement, and if possible, let us know where he is.

Thanks

Why We Ride: Comeraderie

Posted by Doug On June - 1 - 2008

It is hard for me to express how meaningful it is for me to be involved with this dedicated group of professionals both on the Board and the Ride. The work you all do and the way you ride are inspiring. I know that great things are coming as a result of your efforts. With your continued dedication the ride and its impact will be even more substantial in the years to come. I promise to make the route even better and the logistics more coordinated than 2008.
I am proud to be a member of this brother/sisterhood. May the coming year bring you all good health and prosperity and I pray the list of inductees is empty next year. See you in May 2009. My heartfelt thanks to all of you.
