Hot Pursuit 2010 Thank You

Thank you

I want to express my sincere thank you to all who made Hot Pursuit a huge success.

Gogos: Thank you. You added some greatly appreciated humor, raised over $21,000 for MCF so far, and did some very impressive cycling. You truly are an inspiration to me and many others.

CMU: You are simply great guys to be with and of course, a very commendable cycling performance. Your average speed of over 35 km per hour will not soon be broken. CMU as an organization was top notch. I appreciate all the behind the scenes activity of promoting the event.

Cops for Kids: I understand your disappointment about having to abandon the ride. Circumstances and adversity just kept piling up on you. I have been there myself numerous times and no doubt will be there again. You displayed your true character by arranging and then joining us for a police escort to the Legislative Buildings. Thank you. I am sure that was a first for all the Gogos. In the eyes of their 26 grandchildren, (and many of us) these grannies are heros.

My Family: Thank you. I continue to be blessed with the support of my family. To make Hot Pursuit 2010 a reality, many hours are spent by them doing the countless tasks that are seldom noted.

Ruth, I know that in the 5 months leading up to the event, I am basically consumed with planning, training and fundraising. You not only put up with it, you are so much a part of it. Thank you.

Safety: I never take it for granted, but we were again spared any serious accidents on the road. Thank you to those who prayed and thank you God for keeping us safe.

Those who followed our adventure and supported the causes: We (support crews) did our best to give you a glimpse into the live experiences on the road. Thank you for visiting the site and leaving comments. An especially huge thank you to all who supported the cause(s)

Event sponsors: It is not possible to do this without the help of businesses or individuals who supported us financially or provided a gift in kind. Thank you.

Support crew(s): I was again privileged to have committed folks serve me hand and foot.

That is not easy, as I am told I can be a bit demanding at times. Thank you.

Thank you to all involved.
