Several times this week the subject of adversity has been addressed by Larry, Don, Mike, or Taylor. Today seemed to aggregate those separate thoughts into a singular practical application. The day dawned with dark clouds, threatening to rain and blow at any moment. This was to be the “final push” to Salt Lake City and [...]

Ride from Reno Day 6
June 21st, 2009 
lpeterson A half dozen hearty club members join with Jeff in Delta to shuttle the group132 miles to the Huntsman Cancer Institute.

Day 6 – Taylor
June 20th, 2009 tnelson Today was interesting for me. I started off by getting up at 6:15 AM this morning just to wait till 11:45 AM to ride today.

Day 6 – Mike
June 20th, 2009 mnelson Well, well, well. I don’t quite know where to start. It is over and the emotions poured out as we arrived at HCI. It was truly an amazing trip with too many people to thank.

June 19th, 2009 mnelson Well, I am one of the less prodigous riders among the group and instead of dishing out 140 on my quads tomorrow, I took the rest day and rode 51.32 miles to Eureka. My good friend Pete Robinson came out and rode with us today. His road bike was in the shop and so he [...]
Day 5 – “Rest” Day
June 19th, 2009 dleslie Today was a different day than any of the others. It was nice to not have to be up at 5:30 to be riding by 7! I found where the locals eat for breakfast and enjoyed eating some real food. We went for a “short” (seems like it after what we have done this week) [...]
