MS 150 - New Bern, NC - A great ride, and a tropical storm

[IFjane]

Carrie - I just found this thread! I was wondering how you did - glad it was overall a great experience. Ours was great this year, too - and was my first as well.

Congratulations on a terrific accomplishment & on raising money for a wonderful cause!

but since we now have a happy ending, I will

DH rode on Sunday in the tropical storm. His light bounced off his bike about 2 miles from the finish line, and someone in an SUV swerved and ran over it (obviously intentionally) as DH was trying to get back to it. The guy had a big grin on his face, and made some nice gestures. This was the *only* bad driver experience I think either one of us had.

So...we took inventory of the light. The back was broken, but the front and circuit board were in one piece. We emailed Planet Bike to see if they would sell us the replacement piece - we sent a picture, and explained what happened...

They asked for our mailing address...

We received a NEW light in the mail today - no charge - marked as a warranty claim. WOW!!! We just wanted to buy the replacement part, and they shipped a whole new light! Kudos to a great company!!

Thanks for all of the well wishes - I would encourage anyone who can to come do this ride It's a GREAT cause, and it really is a nice group of folks (and the ride is a blast!).
