We pulled one more victim into our brain storming web

          Now that we have so many riders on Team Leapfrog I just have to make another one of my very important goals happen; and that is to cross the "actual" finish line.

     A lot of people want to ride for the exercise and because it's for a good cause, or maybe because it's a great way to spend time with family and friends.  Where it starts and where it finishes isn't really important.

     But I just have to ride over the finish line because I want to feel the sense of accomplishment for doing something I never thought I could do.  And who knows how my body will react to 35 miles, but I sure have to give it my best shot.  My reward for making myself complete it after training the three days a week at 14 miles each day is seeing the finish line.  I just have to have a feeling of finishing;  and for me it's over the finish line.

     So our committee of three amigos: Reeves, Brian and I had to pull in some back up to make this option happen.  In the past years the 35 mile riders began riding at the start and finished 35 miles out where the buses would take them along with there bikes back to the starting point.

     We had a meeting with Julie Roberts, the Community Relations Director at Kingston Healthcare who is riding for the first time and is also very passionate about crossing the finish line (besides, Kingston is supplying watermelon at the end so she'll be doing double duty that day and she surely can't be at the start and finish line at the same time.  

     We brainstormed for quite a while and we have several ideas in mind.  I'm not sure how, just yet, but mark my word I will see you at the finish line;)

Have a great weekend!!

Time for more brain storming

   

  As the Bike-To-The-Bay gets under way it's time to start doing some brain storming to try to raise as much money as possible.  My BFF Karen and I got together and about four cups of "joe" later we were starting to come up with a plan.

     Of course, if we could find businesses that wanted to sponsor our team then we would have a win/win situation on our hands.  They could have their name on our cute pink team shirts, which would be great for advertising and at the same time we could raise more money for the cause.

     The shirts have actually become a commodity in them selves;  people are constantly saying how cute they are and asking if they can purchase one.  So we started thinking; What a great idea to raise more money!

     Well, one more cup of coffee and we'll continue to blaze our trail!  If you love pink and you love frogs then look us up!  We've got you covered:)

If you know of any businesses that would like to sponsor us and get their name on our shirts please have them E-mail me at:

Have a great day!!

The support was overwhelming

     As I was attempting to build a committee to help with sponsorships, I knew all I had to do was start talking and I would have takers... That, or maybe they were volunteering just to get me to quit talking.  Oh well, whatever it takes!

     First, I approached my friend Karen Evans because she has a kind heart and I know she loves to volunteer her time for a good cause.  As I expected, she was totally on board! What makes a good team is a lot of people with different strengths.  Karen was very familiar with creating websites and happens to be a blogger herself, so she offered to help me create this website and Allison Wait, a talented high school student from Sylvania Northview, created the awesome frog artwork you see on the blog's header, now we're on our way!  Thanks Karen and Allison!

Have a great day!
