Amici Veloci Fundraiser Ride
To disable ads, please log-in.
Amici Veloci was started two years ago by a group of SF Bay Area TE'ers to ride an MS ride - Top Hat- in honor of one of our own. We unofficially decided that we would do fundraising rides as a group every other year. That way we don't ask our friends every year for money.
This year we have pretty much come to consensus that our ride will be the MS Waves to Wine.

It is Sept. 29 & 30. We'd love to have other folks from the TE community join us if you're able. The more the merrier.

Sure, I'd be glad to be Supreme Commander (er, Captain) again, if you'll have me.
This time I'll be ready for the nearly daily requests to keep upping the pledge goal
Ed. to add: Registration for last year's Waves to Wine officially started in early February, so we have time to get this all sorted out.Last edited by jobob; 01-03-2007 at 07:58 PM.

My husband might be having foot surgery sometime around then, but I'll ask his permission for this ride! When is the cutoff date for registration?
Went to the doc today, and he told me not to do TBP.
I'm bummed, but kind of expected it. Think I'll just head right to Ontario and do some fishing.
That red and pink treatment gave me diarrhea of the mouth....LOL!Last edited by mtkitchn; 07-11-2007 at 10:10 AM.

It would be wonderful if you could join us and meet our silly group. Deadline info says: The deadline for online registrations is September 21st 2007, the week before the event. You can also register up until the day of the ride, however, registration fees will increase by $5 per month as we get closer to the event. We usually suggest that individuals commit around 90 days out from the event (By July 1) to ensure enough time to prepare and train and to allow enough time to reach their fundraising goal.
The team website link will get you to all kinds of info on the ride.
And, CA_in_NC, of course!Last edited by SadieKate; 07-11-2007 at 12:08 PM.

Oh gosh! Wish I could join you gals! [Must check calendar. Must check bank account. Must bike to work more often.] Oh well. If calendar doesn't allow, then at least I can donate.
Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.
