Katie Ride this Saturday

http://www.katierideforlife.org/

Sol Pedal's faithful friend, Richard Butts and instructor, Joanne Kelsay will be participating in the Katie Ride this weekend. I have had every intention of gathering a large group together, designing jerseys and riding, but time has gotten away from me.

I have ridden the past couple of years and it is a wonderful cause, not to mention a well run and supported Ride. At one of the rest stops a few years back, a visitor was stopped and asked what was the reason for all the bikers. I told him it was for organ donation awareness and briefed him on Katie Caple's story. He was the recipient of an organ donation and was so touched. He then drove to the Rec Center on Atlantic and thanked Mr. Caples and the volunteers. Establishing meaningful connections is what these events are all about, what a great feeling.

If you are looking for someone to ride with, no matter the distance (15 to 100 miles) or pace, please consider riding with us. Both Richard and JoAnne are extremely knowledgeable about bikes, biking safety and the rules of the road.

Each person riding should follow the link http://www.katierideforlife.org/ and register. There is a $100 entry fee that goes toward organ donation awareness.

If you would like to ride with Sol Pedal, please email me leslie@solpedal.com or Richard at rbutts7@comcast.net or Joanne at joannekelsay@hotmail.com.

It will be a fabulous Saturday, please join the Katie Ride for Life!
