    Great Job Workers! Freda, you crack me up. "By the numbers" really got me giggling. Drop in again (Idaho) when you do your encore ride.

    I thought of you three when I rode from Medford down the CA coast yesterday. I'm glad you finished strong and safe! Look me up on Facebook, Melissa should have my email from the donations page.
