Hurricane Katrina Benefit Ride
Thanks to all who participated in the Hurricane Katrina Benefit Ride. It was a picture perfect day to ride with sunny skies and temperatures in the 70's. We had over 150 registered riders who contiributed over $7500.00! Thanks to everyone who donated to this very worthy cause.
I would like to send a special thanks to Gore Cycling Clothing for donating more than $2000 dollars in jerseys which were raffled off to the riders on Sunday. A list of winners is also posted on our website.

I would also like to thank Mangia! Italian restaurant for donating food and refreshments for the riders after the 15 mile loop. Lee Tyler, owner of Mangia! was there to make sure everyone was fat and happy before starting off on the 30 mile loop! Lee, I am sure I speak for everyone in attendance when I say, "Thanks for a fantastic meal!"

Finally, there are many individuals who helped make this event possible and I want to give a special thanks to everyone who contibuted thier time to this ride, but I must limit my praise to mentioning the following people; Marlin Meyer, Ron Gurth and Keegan Greene. Marlin, Ron and Keegan were jointly responsible for leading the ride. Thier duties included mapping out the two loops, marking the rides with paint, and printing up maps. Gentleman, you all did a great job with the rides; thanks for a great day!

For all of the people that I have not mentioned, Thanks for everything you did to make this event so successfull. But most of all, thanks to all of the people who donated money to The American Red Cross.

Please make sure you go back to the Home Page and find the links to the pictures that we captured on the day of the ride!
