The Pedal to the Point was fantastic for Patti's Paladins. For me the hardest part was getting to the Fairgrounds at 5:30 AM, after that riding 150 miles was easy.

We raised a lot of money, and we aren't finished yet. All summer long I have been accumulating aluminum to recycle. Below is a picture of me loading it into my van to exchange it for cash to add to my MS 150 total.

I raised a lot of money and I am very grateful to my sponsors. To show my gratitude I send them thank-you notes. Every note has a special, hand-written message. Patti and I have spent many hours writing thank-you notes (she writes them to the riders).

Here is a picture of us writing our notes:

Below is a picture of us looking up addresses and labeling our thank-you notes:

This is a lot of work, but we believe that thanking this year's sponsors (and riders) will help make next year's MS 150 even more successful.
