Catskill Mtn Velo Club Charity Ride - Sunday Oct 9th

Charity is a funny thing.  There are many different forms and styles of giving.  In fact, there is even a sense of priority toward giving after disasters with the most basic needs of food, shelter, water obviously addressed first. 


But for kids, food, water, and shelter are not considered basic needs.  That's something the grown-ups take care of.  Basic needs for young kids are things like toys, bicycles, paper and crayons, etc..  Things like that.  And these are things sometimes overlooked when people are in the mood for giving, and thought of long after people are past the mood for giving.


So the Catskill Mtn Velo Club is putting together a charity ride to raise funds to buy new bikes for kids affected by the recent Hurricane Irene flooding to hit the Catskills (see main link on web page header bar).  We have two rides heading out.  One is 55 miles, and the other is 24 miles.  So there is something for both the bicycle enthusiast and for the casual rider. 


We will also accept donations of new or like-new bicycles, but we will not accept old or rusted bicycles.  Another funny thing about charity is for some, it's a perfect way to get rid of their junk.  The kids we are looking to support do not need any extra costs of bicycle maintenance or repair.  So if you've got a bike to give, let me know.
