Novi-Pinckney, MI June 21, 2008 Charity Ride
End location is still being finalized but all other details are good. Please come out if you can and if you can't and want to help please donate. This is for a real good friend of mine's brother.
RIDE FOR JAY 2008 Why are we doing this ride? Jay Kortes [the week before his 47th birthday] was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS); most commonly known as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease”. ALS is progressive disease that affects the nerves in the brain and spinal cord. As you can tell, his life and family [including wife Mary and teenage daughter Amy] are in for a big change. Due to this unfortunate situation and the overwhelming medical bills we are doing a charity ride in his honor. All proceeds from this ride will go directly to help with his medical bills and to make his house more accessible to his needs.

We now have a signed Ted Lindsey puck for the silent auction.. I rode the route yesterday and I made some tweaks via Google Maps today - I am very happy with the route.. Looking like great weather and getting great responses.. Should be a great turnout.. Don't miss a great ride.. If you are within 100 miles head on out.. No freeway riding on this route..
