This morning is the second annual Ride Cincinnati in memory of Marlene Harris, who died after a 15 year battle with breast cancer. Last year I rode and I plan to ride today. Last year, the first year of the ride, the ride raised $132,000 for breast cancer research, today they may raise $200,000. This is my 100th posting and I can think of no better posting for this milestone than to raise our awareness of the important work that is being done to eliminate breast cancer. I am posting a photo of an old bike rider from this year's ride.

I KNOW you're a funny man, but when this page first opened in my browser, I said to myself, "Why is Fred wearing that funny wig with the pigtails?"
Well, I completed an 18.6 mile ride on a mountain bike that my late wife had bought. Mountain bike tires do not roll as easy as street tires, so I have to work a little harder, but I get a good workout. The picture is from last year's ride and that is a pink helmet cover they passed out for everyone in the ride to wear. Luckily they did not do that this year. Dr. Harris, a friend from high school, who with two friends put this ride together told me they had 1,300 riders this morning and that they may raise about $200,000 for breast cancer research. The weather was clear, warm and a little humid, but I survived it and had some fun.

Well I think that 'old bike rider' is pretty cute. And you know the old saying, "Only real men wear pink."
Great charity to be involved with, Fred.

Hi Vikki,
I have a pink dress shirt and a pink tie, and a pink golf shirt. So, by your definition, I guess I am a real man. The bike ride was fun and we had a beautiful day here in the Queen City for a bike ride.
