Tour de Ladd bike-a-thon

thanks y'all. and yes, i do love this event primarily because the kids are active and involved and it's not just selling something to neighbors and family. and because it's awesome to see the covered play-area covered with hundreds and hundreds of bikes

So far, it looks like we've raised about $15,500, but that will likely go up - a number of people turned in the permision slips but didn't submit their pledges in advance. And 81% of 457 students rode their bikes or scooters for 3244 laps this morning, collectively riding 1140 miles, which is about the distance of Portland to San Francisco, roundtrip! Woot!

and i just realized tonight that my handy dandy spreadsheet wasn't adding in totals from two of the 2nd grade classes, which brings our actual pledged and raffle total to $17,500(!!) and the mileage to 1295 miles, which is Portland to Lincoln, Nebraska hurrah!
