Ride for a Cure
-
It’s done. 5:00am this morning, the truck all packed, gear in, bike tied down and off to NYC. Bumper to bumper traffic at about 150th down the West Side Highway signalled the closing of the Henry Hudson and the FDR. Got off and parked…I had secondary transport after all and another 7 miles would just be a warm up. Bloody cold though – even for an ex-pat. Rode down the HH to 54th street and it was like the Wordsworth poem :
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
- It’s an amazing site to see 6,000 riders congregating alongside those huge luxury tourist trap liners. Equally amazing is to see them ride off down the West Side Highway. It was a great ride; it was a fabulous day; and it was for such a great cause. I want to thank everyone who donated to my Ride for a Cure. With your generosity I was able to raise over $5,500. Our team, The Blue Ribbon Restaurant – Naked Nuggets raised over $50,000. That’s huge and so here’s a big THANK YOU
- I am back home now nursing an assortment of aches and pains but these will all subside, unlike those who suffer from MS. But with your help today we raised a bucket load of money that will one day see a cure for this horrible disease.
