Towards the tail end of the 75mi trek from Homestead to Key Largo.  Here I am tackling the Card Sound Road Bridge (if I knew the exact height of the bridge I’m put it here, but I’m really to lazy to research it).  I wish this was end of the ride, but I had another 18mi to bike until I reached the end, which was John Pennekamp Park.

Thanks to Everyone for Their Support

I wanted to personally thank everybody and everyone who’s supporting me and donated to my fundraiser. It really means a lot to me when people give what little they have in support for others. Tomorrow I will be riding finally, and hopefully my training and spin classes have paid off as I’ll be doing 75mi from Miami Homestead Speedway, around the city of Homestead itself, and finally onto Card Sound Rd, and into Key Largo (view map here). Wish me luck and wish me in good health. I’ll be posting pictures from the starting line, my rest stops, and finally at the finish line.

Thank you again for your generous support.

This Saturday I’ll be biking from South Miami to Key Largo in the 2011 MS150.  For those interested in what 75mi looks like from Miami to Key Largo, take a look at this map.  It’s quite obvious a straight shot from South Miami to Key Largo is not 75mi.  Instead, we’re gonna have to weave in and around south Miami and then ride on the cursed Earth via Card Sound Road (Old US1) to John Pennekamp Park.  Wish me luck!

This year, along with my ride two years ago, will be riding with a bandana for someone I know who has MS, its called the Pedal Partner Program from the MS Society.  If there’s anyone you know who has MS, and would like for me to ride for them, let me know, and I will either add their name, or add a star (if you’d rather not give names) along with the two I’ll be adding to mine. I’d also like to thank everybody who donated to my MS150 this year.  I’ve had a great time raising money for this great cause, and now I’m physically preparing myself for the ride. Again thanks to everyone who donated, and wish me luck.  Ciao. High-res

I want to thank everybody who’s helped out in the past my making any generous donations, and I know I’m asking for alot when times are tough and gas prices are so high, however, if everyone can donate as little as $1, I would truly be very grateful for that.  I participate in this MS150 every year and I try every year to raise as much money as I can.  I thank everyvbody again, and wish me luck for in two weeks I’ll be riding to Key Largo from Miami.  Wish me luck!
