I've been reviewing what I know about our team's riders, and what I can see on our individual web pages. Based on that, I raised the monetray goal again to $20K. Don't be intimidated. I think we can do it handily.

I also added up our intended mileage for the ride: it's at least 1780 bicycle miles. That's counting only the minimum of 30 miles for the 6 riders for whom I don't know how far they plan to ride - I suspect there's another 360-500 miles there not yet accounted for.

So in very round numbers, the Paladins will be riding for $1000 per mile, give or take, and about $1000 per rider.

Wow.

Thank you all for helping build this team to what it is! When Patti asked me 3 years ago, "Hey! Why don't you do something for MS?" I never dreamed my involvement would escalate to this level. I am very proud to be associated with each and all of you, and I look forward to doing this again and again for years to come.

Get on your bikes and ride!
