One of the fun things about athletic events for charities is hearing about all the great people who participate in them. No matter what kind of event you are doing, whether it’s a marathon, bike race or something else is that it can really be an adventure.

I came across a great blog post today from Christina, who recently completed the MS 150 for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. She rode with the Patti’s Paladins team who was one of the highest fundraising groups participating in the Ohio Buckeye Chapter’s  Pedal To The Point. The last day was especially tough for her and everyone on the ride as the weather was really not on their side…

At rest stops there were sodden riders huddled in Ryder rental trucks to get out of the wind, and paramedics asking everyone to make sure if their lips turned blue and they were shivering, that they should STOP RIDING NOW. I rode this day mostly with teammates Mel (sis-in-law), Cathy and her hubby Mickey, and Gretchen, and that helped me immensely (see above rant about riding alone.) Even the fastest riders don’t do so well in driving rainstorms.
