Hello My cycling Friends!

I am coming to you in the final hours asking for your help. I know the weather is turning nice outside and trust me, I love the road just as much as you do. In fact this last weekend, I got in over 7 1/2 hours of riding time in.

But all that aside, many of you of seen my emails about the event I have been planning for this coming Sunday, May 4th, 2008, and on that day, I have 20 spin bikes and 7 trainers available. With registrations, the numbers are lower then I had hoped and a little less from those I know best. I am calling upon you to help me fill the seats. I have 84 - 1hr spots still open. You can book multiple hours, or just one. My afternoon slots are the most open, but the board is pretty wide right now. Please see the attached schedule to see my open time slots.

Missing this many riders to fill the seats is going to have a drastic effect on the help I was hoping to provide these young kids in Africa. If you can find the time to join me, Please fill out the registration form online at http://www.rideforrafiki.ca and I will reduce the registration fee to $15 and if you can pull together a $150 or more in pledges per rider, I will waive the fee. I really want the room to be filled with energy and I know the power that you would bring would help me achieve that. I have seen what you can do, can you come help me out?

Again, please look at your schedule on Sunday, please see where you can fit me in after your morning ride, or morning gardening, or any relaxing thing you might have planned.

Most sincerely,

Adam

P.S. This is open to as many riders as I can get and you don't have to be a member of the gym and you can bring your cheering crowd and you can bring a friend if you want.
