A cold, wet, yet successful day
May 7, 2006 was undeniably a cold, wet day. Temperatures
dropped from
the 60's in the morning into the 50's by mid-day.
Regardless, 191 out of 372
registered riders braved the elements,
with over 30 riding the full
century. In spite of the conditions,
there were smiles at the end, and we
cleared $10,115.90 for
the National Kidney Foundation of NC. A few
photos from the event are below. More may be found
