Did they do the drawing for the giveaway yet? I haven't seen any announcements on it. I don't believe they have drawn a winner yet. |

In 10 hours I RIDE!!!! Again, thank you to everyone who has wished my daughter well, my family well and myself. The weekend might be "interesting." I'll have to push the first 104 miles pretty hard to beat the impending weather on Saturday and Sunday looks like it might be worse.
No matter, what I ride for is much bigger than any thunderstorm.
See you all on the flip side. I'll try and post some pictures Saturday night if I can. Otherwise, I hope to be back on Sunday evening to let you all know how it went.
Cheers and thanks again... For everything! You guys are the best.
Derek and The Waylands

Hey forum friends! Here are some pictures from this weekends Tour de Cure! I had a great 104 mile first day! BUT.... I had a bit of a problem with some severe numbness. I won't go into any more detail, but it did not allow me to ride a second day for fear of making my condition more permanent. :-( I did however make it a very successful 2nd day by providing Tour photography support as well as SAG support and a little rest stop assistance. Best of all I got to cheer everyone on, especially the Red Riders! (Those riding with diabetes.) I hope you enjoy the sampling of pictures and thank you again sooooooo much for all of your support! Derek       Why I ride....  Emotiva forum friend and fellow Tour de Cure rider "noysboy!"  |

Looks like the weekend was a huge success, as someone with nerve damage in my back after 2 back surgery's glad to see you opted for caution as we only get one shot at life. 104 miles on Saturday is a full days work, I hope you and your family had a great weekend.

That's a pretty cool picture bike, I watched a brain game show the other night and it said most people could not draw a bike from memory kinda interesting how people went wrong trying to draw it.

I feel for you, big guy. Almost missed my uncle's 90th birthday party with a migraine on Saturday (good thing it was later at night).
