As you may know I do a lot of cycling.
Last year I participated in the Dolphins Cycling Challenge.
I rode 75 miles and raised $750.00
This year I am "kicking it up a notch" - I signed up for 175 miles - 100 miles on 11/5 and 75 on 11/6.
I have to raise $1500.00 this year.
We are raising money for cancer research - to benefit the University of Miami Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center.
I had a close friend pass away recently from this disease, I am dedicating this years ride to his memory.
Last year we raised a total of $533,106
I would appreciate it if you could donate to this cause. You can donate online by clicking the link below, or if you would prefer to mail a check, PM me and I can send you a link to the form.

THANKS Gus!
Got yah a little closer :)
Keep bumping this thread up, and as time gets closer, I will see if I will be fortunate enough to be able to help ya out. Can't commit anything right now though.
Very worthy cause, lost my mother to Cancer back in 1989.
As you know I had a post about two or three months back on making pulled pork for my mother in law who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She had a big setback last week. Then yesterday, my next door neighbor, a wonderful family, wife very young with a 5th grade daughter and kindergarten son, diagnosed with Stage 2 Breast Cancer. It seems everywhere I turn this damn word - the BIG C - is popping up.
FLB I will get to your website tomorrow to support your ride. We all need to do what we can to kick this things A**!
And a little closer again ;)
And some more.

Getting ready for tomorrow, I've got permission to overnight in the stadium parking lot in the RV (It's an hour drive away). The ride starts at 0645, I was not looking forward to a 0430 wake up call.
The Mrs. will drive the RV home after I start, there is a UM game there tomorrow.
cool ride and hope you raise a lot more
Good luck my friend, the ride is for a great cause...and thank you..
Good luck tomorrow! And have fun ;D
102 miles done.
The wind was a B!tch and my feet hurt, I pedaled on because cancer sucks!
~74 miles tomorrow morning, leaving at 0715.
Then a party at the stadium (the finish line) --- If I can stay awake...
Thats awesome, Nice job Randy!!! I have a hard time driving 100 miles let alone peddling a 100 miles. Thanks for all the manpower you have provided for this cause.
