Ride For A Cause – One Example
Phil’s courageous journey has consisted of of nearly 8,000 miles of riding in various climate and traffic conditions while facing frequent elevation changes. He races in honor and remembrance of his late uncle who died from acute Leukemia (cancer). Phil also hopes to raise $48,000 in funds from this ride that support research for a cure. He will be returning to our home town of Tipp City, Ohio tomorrow, Monday September 14th at 6PM in the CVS parking lot.

Just as I am thinking about a bike tour cross the country to see my relatives, figuring either later this year or early in summer next year depending, really need to get back out there and tour. Which is the plan in the not to distant future, how many others who are reading taken bike tours?
