Some of you may know, I lost one of my best friends this past December. Scott was an avid outdoor enthusiast, whether it was skiing, hiking, camping or biking, he did it all, and to the furthest limit possible. Unfortunately, he died too young and didn't have a will. He left behind a wife and two small boys, Gus (4) and Nick (1 1/2) The ride is to help his kids education and a $20 donation is suggested (but not required) There is also a dinner afterwards ($10 donation)

I'm not asking anyone to join in, especially someone most of you never met, but I wanted to get the word out to the largest group I can.

Thanks all.

Paul, is there a way to donate without doing the ride? Can't make it that day.

Dork,
The donation works the same whether you ride or not. Either send a check to the address listed or via Pay Pal. The are actually asking that donations be made apart from the ride as they will not be accepted there.

That is a really nice offer.

Oops...

Carrie,
I took a quick look at the map on Bikerag Looks like there's a few options. In a worst -case, the Airline trail is there which, while straight and flat, is a pretty ride and there are some ST off of it I could point you to. The girls and I used to do the AT every w/e.

Jeff and Tim,
Cool, we better step-up on some warm-ups. I'll bring the Bailey's.

do you think I should put gears on the HT for this ride (if my FS is not up and running)?.........make an assessment.

Would it be alright if I brought the funk? We could make some shakes.

Gears on the HT, yes.

Bring the funk, leave the Conger Eel.

It's only 1.5 hrs away. I can make it an afternoon delight.

Coitainly...

Please join us for Scott's Ride 2010 ... a memorial ride to remember a good friend and avid rider who left us all too soon.

Donations Accepted: $20 (suggested)

Please make out checks to “The Gus and Nicholas Selleck Educational Fund” or by PayPal (preferred method) to mgonsor@sbcglobal.net. Just click on the link provided and make your donation today: https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=marketing_us/send_money
Checks and cash can also be sent to the following address:

Scott’s Ride 2010
c/o Mike Gonsor
316 Martin Rd.
Hebron, CT 06248

No donations will be accepted in the parking lot the day of the ride !!! Please donate in advance or at the post-ride dinner.

Details:
Meet in the Grayville Falls town parking lot (not in the cul-de-sac at the bottom of the hill) and be ready to ride by 1:00 PM. We’ll send out a few “waves” of riders on one of Scott’s favorite loops thru Grayville…about 12 miles of pretty much everything Grayville can throw at you, including lots of climbs (which was Scott’s forte). Shorter rides can be had or you can always “peel-off” and head toward the parking lot (many opportunities along the way). If you are not familiar with Grayville, you might want to print out the map at bikerag.com.
For the beginner or learning intermediate, the Airline trail is a nice nearby option!!

Didn't Jeff break his finger in the shower?

Who knows what kind of shenanigans you guys were up to!

I think he was prospecting for nasal diamonds. They were too much for his finger
