Ride for Missing Children (long)

[Trek420]

kryn, thanks for riding and what a moving report. Is this the only ride of its sort?

Corsair there were times on the AIDS ride I had to get myself together....closing ceremonies when the riderless bike comes in and again for the crew, the hill before King City my first century where I see the riders in back of me (yeah, behind ME, weird) and in front of me and you really get a scope of what you've done, any time I see our Pos ped's, the last hill day 7 knowing I'd made it....

guess we do these rides for the cause but it's also catharsis

I think for me this year nothing really dealt with the scope of how I felt about the disease than doing the ride.

One of my sponsors wrote on my jersey...upside down so i could see it when I'm tired and look down "when the going gets touch think of 11 million African Orphans" so a lot of this is about the kids.

So you can ride crying but it's hard to do.
