First of all, I want to congratulate each and every one of you for participating in this year’s Bike MS event!  The stats for our team are outstanding!  Participation rate was overwhelming!! Best showing since we first started back in 2007!  Here’s a glimpse.  I’ll be working on the newsletter tonight and will send out more information on what’s next for Team Dangerous Curves…yes, we don’t stop at MS!  There’s many more diseases we need to conquer – Diabetes and Cancer on the horizon!

 

A very SPECIAL thanks to THE BICYCLE PATH and FLOTEC for being such GREAT team sponsors!!!  Without them, we would have no jerseys, no practice rides, no beer, no food, and no tent!!  Thanks Gary, Amanda, Ray and Joe!!!

Fundraising:  We have just about raised our Goal for 2010.  We can do it!  We still have 10 members who need to meet their minimum $300 fundraising requirement.  Remember, we have until June 3^rd to raise the minimum to be eligible for fundraising prizes.  AND, remember team top fundraiser gets a prize too!! 

 

I know we’ll hit our goal this year!!  For those of you who have turned in money to the NMSS, I don’t believe they have posted it yet.  I turned in some money last week and it’s not up yet.  We may be VERY CLOSE to our $10,000 goal!!  This is so exciting!!  For those of you who did not ride, but would like to donate, click on the team donation link below!  Help us meet our goal!

 

Tengerous Curves Goal: $10,000.00 Achieved: $9,267.00 Donate to Team!

AGAIN, CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE! JOB WELL DONE!!!

 

IF YOU TOOK PICTURES OVER THE WEEKEND, PLEASE E-MAIL THEM TO ME SO THAT I CAN COMPILE A CD OF ALL THE PICS TAKEN OF OUR TEAM THIS WEEKEND.

 

Newsletter hopefully tomorrow!  Depends on whether I ride 22 miles or not tonight….still thinking….my butt says NO, but my cycling heart says YES! YES! YES!
