5th Annual Ride For Literacy

I rode the 5th annual "Ride for Literacy" sponsored by the Lancaster Sunrise Rotary Club this past Saturday. Four members of the Manheim Township Cycling Club showed up at 7:00 a.m. at Neffsville Park - Joe M., Josh S. Sean D. and Matt L. We waited until 7:30 to see if anyone else would make it out, but then we took off. The ride was very well organized and the road markings were easy to follow. The course went through the countryside of Eastern Lancaster County. It was a cool morning and there was no wind. The only obstacle to contend with was a by-product of riding in Amish Country - road apples ( horse s*** to those not familiar with sharing the road with equine powered conveyances).

I would like to thank the following individuals who sponsored me at $.10 a mile, or more, for a total of 43 miles. All proceeds benefited reading and literacy programs in Lancaster Co.

Thanks for riding and contributing to literacy, Kurt. I rode and gave, too. My wife works at the Literacy Council.
