I'm glad this isn't a scratch and sniff because after riding for "The Best Dam MS 150 Bike Event" we don't smell very good. Del, Ashley and I went the distance, ok Ashley raced, Del chased and I kinda watched from far behind - but never the less we finished and we liked the numbers on our times. The MS ATK team was amazing and led by an amazing team leader. The race is wholeheartedly supported by many many volunteers and because of that it was quite a success. We decided that our jerseys looked like watermelons! I kept looking for the rockets and stars for the aerospace company we rode for on the jerseys like last year - but we did stand out on the beautiful countrysides of Cache Valley. I'm pretty sure we glowed in the dark! The MS ride also supports Diabetes - of which I hope that there is an answer very soon as to how to finish off this disease. We all know and love someone living with the complications that come with each of these. The ride is a test of endurance - but when you cross the finish line - it is difficult to hold the tears back knowing that the money raised may someday save a loved one. Next time you see one of these events - DO IT. Don't think twice. It changes you. Next up? The ULCER in August around Utah Lake for cancer. Sunscreen anyone? Thanks for the ride! (and the water, and ice, and sandwiches, and poweraid, and bandaids, and oh ya - the Advil and finally the shower....) aaaahhhh.....

CONGRATULATIONS !! Way to go, you guys. Obviously you all have better knees than I do. I'm wondering, is there a "Meander-", "Stumble-" or perhaps a "Saunter- for Diabetes"? Perhaps I could handle that. Love you all, and good luck on the August ride. PS. Silly me, I thought that "smell" was the famous lake-stink. Little did I know it was wafting over from Edgecliff.....
