[Chat] Do This Ride

[Snakebite]

Rollers,
   
  Are you up for a little ride?  How about from Sioux Falls to Brookngs and back over two days?  How far is that you ask?  Not that far – only 150 miles.
   
  Before you freak out and scream, “I could never bike that far in two days!” let me tell you that you can.  It’s no biggie – really.  Not if you start training for it now.  I’ll even help.  Really.
   
  Saturday August 4th and Sunday August 5th are the ride dates.  I know just the two chicks who can sign you up.  The website is www.myMSbikeride.org.  ThereÂ’s lots of info on there, too.  I can get you in touch with the proper people to sign you up.
   
  Let me alleviate your apprehensions.  Once around the bike trail is 19 miles.  You can do that – easy.  Now just link some of those together and before you know it, you’re in Brookings!  Remember this is not a RACE this is a RIDE.  This means you don’t have to be out there pounding and pounding to keep up.  And, since this is a RIDE, you may stop as often as you’d like!
   
  Now for the training part.  IÂ’m leading a training ride that starts every Saturday at 5:30 PM from the Renberg School.  We talk about how to safely ride on the road, what you might need, in addition to working on our mileage base.  This ride is for the inexperienced and the ride pace is easy.  ItÂ’s just the sort of thing youÂ’ll need to get you ready for the big day!
   
  I encourage you to step and take this first step toward bike touring.  IÂ’m confident youÂ’ll have a great time.  In fact, youÂ’ll probably like it so much youÂ’ll sign up for the Tour De Kota next year and maybe even RAGBRAI.  Doing your first longer, touring ride gives such a great sense of accomplishment AND this is for a very important cause.
   
  If youÂ’re now very interested or if you have any questions regarding any of this, please shoot me an email.  For those of you who sign up, IÂ’ll buy you a beer in Brookings!  IÂ’ll get you in touch with the right people to sign up with.
   
  Oops!  I forgot to mention.  This is a completely supported ride.  Which means – food!  And lots of it.  Also, your overnight stuff will be carted to and fro by the MS people.  All you need to do is ride and eat!
   
  So...who's in?!?  Let me know......
   
  That is all.
