2008 Family Fun
Biking is family fun no matter where you go. We biked the boardwalk in Ocean City NJ in addition to several road rides and really had a great time. |

|
2008 Crankin for a Cure
This was the Delaware Mason-Dixon ride for MS in the past and I must say it is a much improved route making it even better. |

2007 French Creek Iron Tour
Our first time for this beautiful scenic ride that is nothing but hills!! What a shock.
|
|
|
|
2007 French Creek Iron Tour
We will need to practice on a lot of hills before we do this ride next year and I for one am getting too old for these hills.

2007 French Creek Iron Tour
Ron was the only one to complete the 25 mile ride and for the first time I think he really felt the pain of cycling on hills. Congradulations Ron, you did it!!

Delaware Mason-Dixon Ride - 2007
Another year and another great ride. Only two of us this year. My biking team is getting smaller as time goes on. |
|
|
|
Delaware Mason-Dixon Ride - 2006
This is a "get started" ride for the big MS 150. It is held in April and is a great training ride to do with family and friends. |
|
|

Delaware MS 150 Ride - 2001
Just arriving at the Rusty Rudder in Dewey Beach. Happy to have done the ride again especially after the 9/11 event. We were all given flags to put on our bikes. |
|
|
|
Delaware MS 150 Ride - 2001
This was one of the few times that family members joined me at our ride destination. Needless to say, I was VERY happy to see them. |

|
|

Team Southco at that famous last rest stop. Yes that Tandum is a tripple and they really move. |
|
|
|

|
|
|

|
|

|
|
ACS Bike-A-Thon - 1998
The American Cancer Society offers a great ride from Philadelphia PA to Mays Landing NJ (about 67 miles). This is a charity ride that attracts thousands of Cyclists. |
|
|
|
Delaware MS 150 Ride - 1997
Team Southco rides again. |
|
|
|
Delaware MS 150 Ride - 1996
Team Southco is starting to grow. We started with just two riders in 1994 and now we qualify as a team. Having more riders = more fun. |
|
|
|
Family Fun
Biking with family is fun anytime but it's especially great when on vacation at the Beach. |
|
|
I have done the Delaware MS 150 from
1994 through 2001 and I can tell you that this is one of the best rides there
is. It's well organized with great support, friendly people and super rest
stops.
To see a
person in a wheel chair with MS at the finish line in Dewey Beach, clapping as a
token of thanks to you as you ride in, will not only bring a tear
to your eyes and make the pain vanish, it will make you glad and proud to have
contributed by doing the ride. Charity rides are
great.
