Cyclists

Dunwoody Cycling, KPMG, and Home Depot is fielding a team for the Bike MS: Cox Atlanta Ride on September 12 and 13, 2009. I invite anyone to ride or to volunteer. All riders registered under Team KPMG and who meet the minimum fundraising requirement ($250) will receive a cycling jersey. I ordered a few extra of the special edition 2009 Team Argyle Jerseys for the late comers. I also have 20 vintage jerseys from the last 3 years that really need riders to fill them out! You can register online > Click here to join Team KPMG The team had a great time last year with approximately 2000 other riders. We look forward to a fun and rewarding event for 2009. We are having a friendly "Tour de Fours" competition with PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte, and Ernst and Young - lets make a good showing by surpassing them in team size and funds raised. There is a really nice trophy at stake. In 2008 we passed all the other firms on the road, but another firm passed us in fund raising, let's beat them all in 2009! We are currently at 31 Riders and ahead of the other!! As always we will have weekly rides in and around metroAtlanta for fitness, fun and training.

What is the ride?? http://www.bikemsatlanta.org/ The Bike MS: Cox Atlanta Ride is taking place on September 11-12, 2009. Endorsed by ardent cyclists and novices alike, the tour offers a two-day fundraising ride through the beautiful surrounding countryside of Callaway Gardens and Pine Mountain, Georgia with spectacular views and historic towns along the way. The ride is a 2 day event with shorter and longer ride options for riders of all skill and fitness levels. You can ride just one day or both, and there are mileage options which will allow you to complete between 30 and 165 miles. Each day the ride starts and stops in Callaway. We will have a larger than ever 20x40 foot KPMG team tent with seating, food, drinks, Wii, TV, electricity, and fun. Be ready for the 2009 Guitar Hero post ride competition in our team tent. There are links to discounted accomodations at Callaway Gardens for MS cyclists at the official ride link above. Shoot me a note if you need shared overnight lodging.  We have all summer long to get ready for the ride - You can do it, even if you need to run out and buy a bike today!!

By joining our team, you will be signing up not just for a weekend of fun, but also for a celebration of the great things we can achieve when working together for a common cause. Each mile brings us closer to a cure - and closer to a world without multiple sclerosis. So what are you waiting for? Join Team KPMG today or make a donation.

If that is all it takes, then this should set the hook.

Martin recommended that I add a kiddie swimming pool, a slip-n-slide, super soakers, and water balloons.  I'm working on it.
