This web site is just about ready to go down, I can no longer make changes or edit like I need to. Please go to the new web site www.ridefortherelay.net. Sorry but that is the way GoDaddy works.
This is the UNOFFICIAL Schedule
for 2013, watch for the changes, look at the dates. If it is in purple it is happening.
The Ride for the Relay starts offically on August 24, 2013. I will
try and post pictures and comments each day while on our trip. This way
any interested friends or family can keep up with us while we travel.
Even if you are watching different people post things on FaceBook or
other message centers, the pictures posted here will be different.
Also as you watch us progress along our way, go to the Guest Book and leave comments. The Riders always like to know you are keeping up with them.
