    The 2nd Annual MJR Memorial Benefit Ride is coming up. Be sure to join us (thinkASG MTB club) on Saturday, June 18th for a special morning remembering and raising funds for the Mark Reynolds Bike Fund.

    The momentum is building for the big day along with the goodies we are gathering for the raffle! Please register (free) so we have a good headcount for the Wahoo's lunch we are providing.

    Here is some more info on Mark J Reynolds and the story behind the bench.

    Rob, it would be good to see you again.
    I never coached baseball, but just by watching my son play, I realized that (just like MLB) the season is way too long.

    Thanks for the reminder on this, HB.

    Mark was a hero for taking one for the team. We all run the gauntlet – probably more than we admit. Salute to this legacy, and props to all involved in the event.

    "First world" problem........

    Here is an email I got this morning:

    "We are looking for assistance from you all to help us find kids that meet the criteria set down by Donna and MJR. We have had difficulty in meeting their criteria - we've had Olive Crest and KidWorks check, but they cannot find more than just a few kids that meet the criteria.

    If you could use whatever resources you have (social groups, churches, or places you volunteer as an example) to assist us, it would be great. Optimally, we would like at least 10 from any organization, and then if we had a couple of groups, we could possibly combine the give-aways at a single location. Finding the kids first is the most important.

    The criteria is:

    1. Age 5-12
    2. Never owned a bike
    3. Parent or guardian able to sign waiver release, and attending bike giveaway
    4. Need child’s measurements for bike & helmet: inseam and head circumference
    5. The child needs to have a permanent place of residence, in the care of a legal guardian

    Once we get recipients locked down, we can go and purchase the bikes/locks/helmets for each child."






    I would appreciate any good leads.
