XX1090 Contestant 3rd Ride

21 June 09 - This was the first week that the XX1090 Radio Contestants rode with the Group they felt they could stay with for our 60 plus mile route. The Groups are 1-4 with 1 being the fastest, averaging 21 MPH, and 4 being the slowest but having the most fun at 12 MPH. As a Ride Leader I was asked to be in Group 2 this week. We averaged about 19 MPH over all.

16 of the Radio Contestants from the Scott and BR Show were in attendance this past Sunday.

I took a couple of quick pictures. On the left are two of our contestants. I want a group shot next week before our Anaheim ride. Yep, we are already putting in over 80 miles with a train ride up to Anaheim and then a ride down the coast. That is one of my favorite routes.

There are a lot of amazing stories coming out of this group of contestants. It's a pleasure for me to get to know them during this event. All walks of life are represented.

Because it was fathers day we had a lower attendance than expected by the entire QMDC. Scott Kaplan took some much deserved time off with his family. With the radio station, community commitments, family, and training for triathlons, he has a very busy schedule. I'm also hoping we see more of BR.

If you have a moment, please make a donation to CAF. There is a link in the upper left corner of this blog. This year is extremely hard for many so any donation even $20 is appreciated.

Thank You---Mike
