June - Rube Ride that supports Stopping Hunger sounds like a great event and I'm sure it will raise a lot of money! Hope you have great weather! This doesn't look like it lends itself to motorcycles though - lol!
Kristine ~ We are suppose to have awesome weather tomorrow. I don't ride un-motorized bikes or run unless someone is chasing me... lol
Ellen ~ I have a Parade of Homes in Hiland Park tomorrow to get ready for so no I will not be participating with this one, just promoting it. Thanks for the compliment though!
June, those types of fundraisers are always a lot of fun...and at the same time help out. I used to do a lot of bike rides...maybe I should dust off the old TREK.
