Pedal to the Point

This weekend Don and I participated in the Pedal to the Point.  This is a bicycle ride to raise money to create a world free of MS.  This year marked the 25th anniversary for the event.  The ride started at Polaris Career Center and ended at Sandusky High School.  Some people stay overnight and bike back from Sandusky High School to the Career Center.  We chose one way this year, but next year plan on doing the entire ride.  We biked 80 miles in 7.5 hrs!  What a terrific experience.  Many people cheering us along the way, signs saying "thank you", and 2700 people riding for the same cause.  I met an old childhood friend along the way as well.  Michael Cervelli and I lived across the street from one another.  I knew he was going to ride; as he has been riding for 18 yrs.  We met at one of the rest stops and biked together until the end.  It was fun seeing him again--a lot of catching up too!  My friend Lea Ann Conway, her son Nicholas, her daughter and law and sister were there as well; along with a friend Lianne Roman.  A terrific event!

What a great cause. If I was a good bike rider I would ride in it.
