TotallyOz Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 I have always wanted to do a bike ride for charity. I am actually considering doing this one. Are there others that do this? Would it be worthwhile to get a MER group together? I had a friend once that did the Boston to NYC ride and it was truly an amazing experience for him. I was one of his contributors but also his friend and was there at the finish line cheering him on. That was many many years ago and since that day, I have had this in my mind. http://www.aidslifecycle.org/ Quote
Members seaboy4hire Posted February 4, 2007 Members Posted February 4, 2007 Oz have you ridden (on a bike) the distance that is stated on the website? 545 miles is nothing to take lightly. IF you chose to do such a ride it would be very wise to start training now! I'm sure that the this is a great charitable thing but if you aren't in the physical shape to take on such a feat you'll be wishing after a few miles you hadn't signed up. Just my half cents worth of babble. Hugs, Greg Quote
TotallyOz Posted February 4, 2007 Author Posted February 4, 2007 >Oz have you ridden I love riding. Hot Air Balloons, Convertables, Horses, bikes, guys. Once you get on, all those old memories just keep coming back and you don't forget. but if you aren't in the physical shape to take on such >a feat you'll be wishing after a few miles you hadn't signed >up. Just my half cents worth of babble. Thanks Greg. I do appreciate it very much. My body is old and used from many years of fun and games. But, I don't usually start things I can't finish. My motto in life is: -Life is here, life is now. Life is soooo short... and sex is just too delicious! Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Champagne and Strawberries in one hand, Diet Coke and Godiva Chocolate in the other, a personal bottle of Eros, A BOX OF TROJAN MAGNUMS, and a good Cuban cigar in the your pockets (ALL partially used), a wallet ALMOST empty of currency but noticeably used from the rainbow colors of THE SEVERAL bills THAT REMAIN from a multitude of countries and cards charged to the max from the joys of life, body thoroughly used up, OLD AS TIME ITSELF, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO - what a ride!--- Want to join me for this ride Greg? I'll be the first to help sponsor you. Quote
