Ok, pending weather we'll say 10am Sunday at the start of the CT in Snohomish.

No promises, though.

Who benefits from this ride (aside from the health of the riders)
If I recall correctly, this is to advertise for a real estate company?

My partner and I in the office will be doing some advertising. A local mortgage office has stepped up as well. I'm currently speaking with a local bike shop to gauge their level of interest and to see if they would be willing to help out with the pit stops, etc. Others that are being considered are the Susan G Komen Foundation and Locks For Love. If there are any other groups out there that all of you think should be included, let me know. Also, I'll be making a personal donation to the fine folks at Banana Keeper

groups that are being considered hmm...'considered"

The producers of the Banana Keeper are a commercial entity and don't need donations.

So as it stands, this is a big advertisement for a real estate mortgage company.

Hi, Dan. Can't ride Sunday but am very much still interested in helping to organize.

What about an MS organization? Then it could be an Amici Veloce ride too.

Zen, his comment about the banana keeper is in reference to the last thread where some of us INSISTED that banana keepers be one of the goodies you got for participating in the ride.

Glad to see this is moving forward, guyz & galz. Have fun on your ride Sunday.....hope you get some of the route nailed down. Sounds like fun "work." Salsa, Knotted, Mimi, & East Hill (& others farther down the thread) -- thank you very much for your help on this. I wish I were closer to help out, too (...but 1000 miles is a bit hard to breach ). I'm not totally positive that I'll be able to come up to see the fruition of all your efforts, but I'm sure going to try.

Now Zen --- I must ask -- what have you got against this ride? Why all the negativity? The people who benefit are the riders! Sure, the companies who pitch in the dollars to make it happen get advertising, but they can pay for advertising on ugly billboards too. But instead, they are choosing to invest those same dollars into something that people will actually enjoy looking at -- at bunch of fun ladies on bikes, dressed to the nines, who (yes!) ARE healthy and trying to raise money for others who aren't. Think of the charity organizations that have been mentioned already that could REALLY benefit. That alone should make anyone jump on board. I wish you would.

Thanks, all!

Sounds as if that might be an excellent idea. I'll get back with you later on about that so that we can make it work .
