Post from Jeff: Killer day!

Each year is different than the year before. In the past 4 years I can say that there is something special about the first day of the ride which is distinct...like a finger print. This year I was asked to join the "Need for Speed" team...the name is precisely how this team acts. Needless to say they took me to school! That is one reason I would refer to this day as Killer. The second reason is that the weather was incredible! Killer! Thirdly the teams are well matched, every rider, had a smile at lunch, and as always our lunch with Gail and Don (nice couple who allow us to eat on their lawn each year...she is a BCa survivor)was terrific. Killer! Lastly the cause creates a buzz in the town we visit. This year our team recieved $30 in hand donations while we were driving down the road. Breast cancer research is something many can connect with. I feel truly bless for such a great group and such a great day.

Jeff Martens!
