Just signed up for the 2009 Best Buddies Challenge - Hearst Castle the weekend after Labor Day. For anyone who has never ridden this ride, it is one of the best anywhere and I highly recommend it. Not only do you get a great ride but you also help a great cause. Riders are also treated to great food (bbq at Hearst Ranch) and a first class private concert (Blackeyed Peas 2008) and tour of Hearst Castle. This year's band is yet to be announced but they will be a headliner again. For those who don't ride there are family rates, runner, walker rates and this year, Sebastian Siegel (now appearing on LOST) will lead TeamOxy's runners and walkers as part of the team. Hope to see you participating and for those who can't I hope you'll become one of my sponsors for the event. Just click on the donate link to the right. Training starts today!
