Trek 4 the Troops
In December, 2006 I'm embarking on a cross country ride to raise
awareness and nonpartisan support for our troops involved in the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. I'm calling the ride Trek 4 the Troops, and I welcome you to read more about it www.trek4thetroops.com. What makes this ride different from other cross-continental awareness/fund raising rides? The ride will be done solo, without a support vehicle, on a fixed-gear. That's right, FIXED GEAR! To the best of my knowledge only a select few have ever traversed the continent on a fixed-gear, and some might say that the attempt is crazy. I'll be following a fairly southerly route from San Diego to Savannah, and I welcome anyone/everyone to ride along should I pass through your area. Fixed gear bikes not required! I'll be updating the ride website every day, and who knows, maybe your picture will show up there. In the meantime, please visit www.americasupportsyou.mil and see how you can help in the effort to support our service men and women serving our country in the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. I'm not soliciting funds or donations directly. I have no way (or desire) to handle donations of cash. I'm asking that folks select one of the many fine organizations that are doing a wonderful job supporting the troops, so please help however you can. thanks! Scott Hendricks p.s. for the usenet nazis on rec.bicycles.racing who think this doesn't have anything to do with bicycle racing, you're right. If it'll make you feel better, think of it as my winter fixed gear base mile riding in preparation for next season! |
