How 'bout I preface any charity riding that I do in 2007 with "sometimes it hurts, but it's my own damn fault for riding 100 miles at a time." And furthermore, "after the pain is over, I'm stoked about the experience!" And the old cliché NO PAIN NO GAIN! :-)Gino Zahndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06275140649410336549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15757627.post-49396285116778988962006-11-16T19:47:00.000-08:002006-11-16T19:47:00.000-08:00One irony of this is that Sheldon wrote a negative...One irony of this is that Sheldon wrote a negative opinion about charitable "thons" back in 98:<br />http://www.sheldonbrown.com/thons.html<br />I see his point, but I don't necessarily agree. I rode the MS150 two years ago and raised a bunch of cash. But, as a result, I came to dislike charity rides because of the dangers in riding in huge groups of inexperienced or careless riders. That said, I will happily donate to the cause when you get set up to take online donations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15757627.post-85299716166182526142006-11-16T19:38:00.000-08:002006-11-16T19:38:00.000-08:00I first read about Sheldon's illness in Bicycling ...I first read about Sheldon's illness in Bicycling last month but it sounds like it has progressed. I've also read many of his articles for information and reassurance. Ride an MS 150?
