Finished the ride at about 15:40 on Sunday, 14 June, 2009.
The first day was cool with about a 10 MPH headwind all the way down the Munger Trail. I volunteered to be the Ride Marshal acting as “Sweep Rider” who made sure that no one was left behind. My day ended with a flat tire about 10 miles from the end and I rode with the Safety team to make sure we hadn’t lost anyone.
The second day was hot and I took regular duty which included helping two people repair flat tires, calling the SAG wagon for one rider, calling to have intersection safety alert people to a particularly nasty set of railroad tracks, and generally trying to keep the enthusiastic crowd on the right side of the yellow line.
In all a great experience and I raised over $2,500.00 dollars to help cure Multiple Sclerosis. Thanks to everyone who donated.
Jonathan, you’re looking great on the bike. Congratulations on the ride and raising a grand amount.
Congrats! Hope you’re fully recovered from the long days & camping out =)
I admire you for your commitment to service.
Looking great! Your AZ Sister is proud of you for doing such great work. Hugs & love!!!! Gin
I thought Santa rode a sleigh!
Nice work Jonathan. I can imagine the folks you helped with flats are telling the story about how they were bummed out when they got a flat, but then this “really nice ride marshall” stopped and helped them.
Jonathan, Congratulations and really admire your commitment.
With that outfit you would be easy to spot in the parking lot….
Way to go Big Guy
