Less Then One Month Till Celebration

Wow! This summer has sure sped by. It's less then a month till Celebration of Cycling. We're so excited since it is always a great time to ride with our friends and enjoy the cool crisp September air - that is unless you ride in the afternoon which has been known to get humid. (I don't do well in humidity.) I've contacted a lot of people to join in Celebration - sure hope they can all make it! I'm not doing very well on fund raising. I understand times are difficult with the economy but I was hoping that a program that helps people with disabilities to be a part of what everyone else takes for granted people would open their hearts with even a small donation. Maybe they are waiting till right before Celebration - I hope that is it because this program need to grow into other areas. Mr. John (the main person) says bikes, trailers, trucks, insurance, and qualified instructors take quite a bit of money to put the program together in each city they go to. Did I mention that PEAC is open to customizing programs for schools, hospitals, special groups,... that want bike education? They have put on bike safety classes for public schools, run a riding camp for visually impaired, basically any type of program involving the use of bikes. This is a great group that has helped me out a lot - I hope I can help them to grow. Think about it - won't you?

Family Biking Night

Yeah! It's Thursday - Family Biking Night with PEAC otherwise known as GNO - Girls Night Out. We drive 120 miles round trip to ride one of PEACs tandem's with our friends at the Metro Park. Last week was the first time I didn't ride the whole 10 miles. I was pooped from my make-up bike class that morning so mom and I only went 4 miles but my sister did the 10 to keep the family tradition going. Sure hope everyone that reads my posts will donate to PEAC because I'd love to ride locally but my balance is still not steady enough for a long haul and winning the tandem would make my dream come true. Plus I'd like to see PEAC grow into other communities where kids with disabilities and their families can enjoy a sport/pleasure together. I have to keep pedaling because growing as I am my hamstrings are giving me lots of trouble and working the opposite muscles helps a whole bunch. If your interested in riding with the group check out www.bikeprogram.org/programs.html about half way down the page or give them a call for more info. Happy Biking!!!!!

My Dream - Please help!
