A week from today I'll be in California registering for the Best Buddies ride. It's hard to believe that it's already here. I'll be riding a lot this weekend, probably 150 miles +. Have to get the bike tuned up also. Sorry to say that the article in my community paper about Best Buddies and cycling for charity did not generate $1 of donations. Hopefully it will lead to others sharing their causes and getting people ultimately to give to help others.

We're holding our donations raffle through TeamOxy until the 10th. Those who donate get a chance at a round trip ticket on Continental or a Trek 5000, all carbon, bike priced at $2000. Contributions tied to the raffle at work have been pretty good. We'll see how it goes this weekend in the neighborhood.
