Christmas Spin III

So here we go again. That time of year. There are Kids out there who could use our help. Their parents (sometimes not in the plural) can use it too. Forced by a sour economy, runaway inflation, the cost of fuel, both for heating and transportation, the price of food, medicine and rent, how the heck is a kid in this circumstance gonna get a new bike for Christmas???

Answer: We are gonna help. Maybe only for a few, but help we will.

On Sunday, December 13 the hearty members of the Bainbridge Athletic Club will spin indoors from 8am to 8pm to raise money to give to the B.I. Boys & Girls Club so they in turn can provide new bikes for needy Island Kids for Christmas. Yes, twelve hours in the saddle. I will be there to ride shotgun down the avalanche for all twelve, and others may join providing that they round up pledges of their own. We raised almost 3K last year, in only five hours, so this year, despite the economic challenges, the delta is 4. That would make me real happy and a lot of kids as well.

To maximize the spreading of good cheer, Jeff at Classic Cycles has again agreed to get us the bikes at his cost, so this is indeed, a more the merrier situation. 12 hours: GIVE TILL IT HURTS!

I am kinda looking forward to it. The smiles on the kids faces is worth all the work, it's just that, well, twelve hours is a lotta discomfort and can get a touch monotonous. Hey, maybe I'll watch some RCVs!!! The poster, sign up sheet is shown below. You can click on it to enlarge.

Have a great weekend.
