Come join us for AngelRide! AngelRide is a 130 mile, 2 day charitable cycling
event held each Memorial Day Weekend. This year's ride is May 23 & 24. The ride
spans across scenic north/central Connecticut then ends at the shoreline in
Mystic. At Angel Charitable Trust, our mission is to help children with cancer
and other life-threatening diseases by opening windows of happiness during their
most intense periods of treatment. We do this by sponsoring "Camp in a
Suitcase," a hospital outreach program that entertains and supports children
during their periods of hospitalization. The "Camp in a Suitcase" program,
administered by the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, connects these childrens'
extraordinary spirit with the magic of a summer camp experience. This year we
want you to share this wonderful experience! For more information to ride,
volunteer, or donate, please visit www.angelride.org
Sure. I might be interested in a Monday ride in
Houston as well.

The Tour de Pink get a lot of positive feedback. Let me know if you
end up wanting to do it.
The Waco Wild West Cetury sounds interesting??? Maybe some of the
D/FW Chapter will be doing it???

AngelRide is a 2-day/130 mile charity cycling event held annually on
Memorial Day Weekend that travels through the beautifully scenic
roads of Connecticut, organized by the Angel Charitable Trust, a not-
for-profit 501(c)(3) charity whose mission is to serve children with
cancer and other life threatening diseases by sponsoring "Camp in a
Suitcase", a hospital outreach program that entertains and supports
children during their periods of hospitalization. The "Camp in a
Suitcase" program, administered by the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp,
connects these children's extraordinary spirit with the magic of a
summer camp experience.
Unlike many other charities, 100% of the monies raised by the riders
goes directly to benefit the children and The Hole in The Wall Gang
Camp, a camping retreat for children with cancer and other life-
threatening diseases a camping retreat that enables children with
such life-threatening diseases to spend their summer like no other.
We are looking for bicycle riders to participate in this year's event
and are hoping you'll distribute our information to anyone you know
who may be interested.
Please visit our website at: http://www.angelcharitabletrust.org/ or
contact Lynn McCarthy at (860)227-0658 for more information. Any
assistance you can provide in helping us make a difference in a
child's life is greatly appreciated!

Hey I really am sorry about missing both rides, I have been having some really
serious back problems due to a herniated disc in my back and lately its been so
bad that I have been having trouble walking. I went to sleep last night in good
shape and woke up in really bad shape. I am signed up for the MS150 and Amaris
is sagging for us. My main goal right now is to try to get my self in good
shape so I can do the MS ride. I am currently wearing a back brace and hoping
that some physical therapy wil l get me back on track. So i do apologize and
hope you all had fun this morning.
Thanks:
George Arango

13,000 slots in the 2007 BP MS 150 from Houston to Austin are full in
a record time of under 2 months. Hope you made the cutoff.

Congrats on your 100 mile ride accomplishment!!
Blessings and prayers to all affected by cancer (my family included)
Thank you for riding for a great cause, as always...

Well after just under 6 hours ( alot quicker than I thought I would do
it), I completed my first "century" (100 mile) bike ride today in the
LiveSTRONG Challenge Austin. Actually it was my first organized ride
of any kind. Wow did they have some monster hills or what!? Anyway,
the Fuji Roubaix was fabulous. The only REAL challenges were the
insanely huge hills that had a few of the others walking their bikes
up. I just grunted through somehow and found a way to make it up them
all, albeit many at a very slow pace with my pedals moving a gazillion
rpm. I only had to shift to the third crank once all day though, so I
think I hung in there okay considering all my training was here in
Houston where it is ALL flats. I will start training for another
century in the next couple of weeks, and I think in preparing for this
one I am going to find a nice steep garage or something and do some
hills and repeats. I definitely recommend that anyone doing one of
these has a good training plan ahead of time. Now I am going to soak
in the apartment complex hot tub for a bit.
This was a great thing for me to do, having lost my stepfather and
stepmother both to cancer, and watching my young neice get diagnosed
at the age of 2 and have to go through treatments and lose all her
beautiful hair for the next 2 years. She is a survivor and soon
turning 8 years old. I am kind glad it was tough and kept with the
name Livestrong CHALLENGE, because it made me appreciate it more.
Let me give a special thanks to ALL those who donated time, money,
prayers and encouragement, without whom I would have been sitting on
my butt today. Special thanks to Jason M. for taking time to drive me
to and from Austin, and wait for me as I rode and to his family for
helping more than I could have ever imagined by helping me arrange a
place to stay after my planned host backed out when their plans had to
change. And Jen, thanks for offering to find a place for me with
friends if I got in a crunch. God bless you all, and God bless Lance
Armstrong!

Cool! I just completed the Bike to the Beach this
weekend. I have done that ride (formerly called Ride
for the Roses) the past three years and yes the hills
are a challenge but at least you had nice weather for
it :-)
