This Saturday, January 21, 2012 is the First Annual Over-Sea Cycle 100.  This ride, from Mile Marker 100 in Key Largo to Mile Marker Zero in Key West, will commemorate the 100 year anniversary of the first arrival of Flagler’s Over-Sea Railroad.  The entire Florida Keys is celebrating this weekend, what was once considered the “Eighth Wonder of the World”.  We will stop by many of the roadside attractions for plenty of photo ops and the occasional historic presentation.

Great event happening this weekend in the Conch Republic…the 2nd Annual TRIKW.  Hundrends of competitors in the sprint and olympic divisions, featuring Chris McCormack Ironman World Champion 2007 and 2010.  Good luck to all the competitors!

Statistics are out regarding being on two wheels and or walking the streets of Key West, Fl.  While I will agree that educating the public is a must, as a society we have to want to do better.  Just remember, that it is not only the pedestrians and cyclists who need to do better, but all who share the road.

I am participating in the zMotion KID Inlet Challenge presented by Zimmerman Adverstising on December 4th, 2011 with several other members of the Mile Zero Hereos to benefit Kids In Distress.
Any and all financial support would be greatly appreciated and go a long way in helping the 6,200 children and families that receive services from Kids In Distress.  Last year it cost $200,000 to just feed the thousands they help every year.

Kids In Distress is a leading force and authority in the treatment of abused children and a premier agency advocating for the preservation of the family and the development of children’s services.

Thank you for your consideration.

Completed my fourth SMART Ride last weekend, SMART Ride 8.  What a great event, benefiting AIDS agencies throughout the State of Florida.  Year to date, SMART Ride 8 has raised over $675,000 and a little under $3 million in 8 years.  All of which has been donated to the participating agencies.

I was proud to ride with and be a member of Team Mile Zero Hereos.  Our recently formed team raised over $30,000 alone through car washes, raffles, 50/50′s, silent auctions and social cocktail hours.  A huge THANK YOU to Nancy from Salsa Loca in Key West for sponsoring our team jerseys and supporting us during the event.  For more information, make sure to check out the SMART Ride.  I can’t wait for next year’s ride!  Until then check back to see what other great rides myself and the Mile Zero Hereos  (website coming) will be participating in.  Next up…Kids In Distress Inlet Challenge.
