I'll be sending out individual donation receipts in the next day or so for your tax-deductible donation to MICA.

Thank you for your support!!!

Congrats to Little Red Riding Hood participants; check out the new forum


Congrats to everyone who did the little red riding hood ride up in Logan, a great benefit for women's cancer research. Props especially to those who did the full 100 miles! nice work!



And i know there were a few participants who only became reacquainted with their bikes (after learning as a child), a few weeks ago. Just remember, your dad's fanny pack is no longer as cool as it was when he used it in 1982!!

Finally, check out the the discussion form here on the blog. You can use this to coordinate rides, find others interested in centuries, charity rides, or other events, etc. etc. You'll need to create a username and password, but then you can post and organize and ride to your heart's content.
