Earth Day 2007

Yesterday we celebrated Earth Day by doing a ride to benefit a program called b.i.k.e. (Bikes & Ideas for Kids Empowerment).

What is b.i.k.e.?

b.i.k.e. was formed January 10, 1995 for the purpose of providing

opportunities and options for inner-city, at-risk children. It is a

non-profit, tax-exempt organization. Our goal is to provide personal,

athletic and academic success through the medium of bicycles.

The bicycle is a tool that we use to encourage children to race

after all kinds of dreams. It draws out the children's strength

and courage, and challenges their fear.

What a worthwhile program - one that I definitely believe in. The director/founder of the program is quite a colorful personality, but his passion is for this program and for the kids that benefit from b.i.k.e. and I like that.

Will have photos after we do the Ride Around Clark County on May 5. Check out the links to b.i.k.e. and Urban Wineworks.

Bunny On A Bike ride, April 8, 2007

Tom and I participated in our first Easter Ride yesterday...

Bunny Ears are mandatory and the theme was Sunday Best.

Since I had already worn my Sunday Best to church in the morning,

I opted for this floral number...

and Tom...

The ride started out mostly dry and as the ride went it started to rain.

Here's to the next Bunny Bike Ride!

Today I received photographs from my friend Chris in Boissevain, Manitoba. The photos were of her one of her newest calves that she lovingly named after me. Should I be offended? My self esteem almost plummeted...then I saw the photo...TOO CUTE!
