A crazy couple of weeks.

Team Organ Re-Cyclers have been busy with a few more fundraisers these past few weeks. Crew member Kathryn Scofield put on a successful golf tournament at Lincoln Hills Golf Course. Starbucks in Folsom hosted a friends and family night where we rode on our trainers and gave out many raffle prizes. Macys also hosted their annual Community Shopping Day where crew members Joe and Mary and riders Bill and Elizabeth spent the afternoon spreading organ donation awareness to Macy’s shoppers.

Aside from all of the fundraisers we have all been busy putting miles in on our bikes. The weather has still been an issue for the outdoor rides, but thank goodness we all have trainers.

Elizabeth had a successful surgery on her elbow. She is already back on the trainer and doing all she can to keep up her cardio to be ready for RAAM in a few more weeks. Her positive attitude and motivation will help her heal in time to race next month.

But we have more bad news. Kenny Britton crashed his bike on Friday and spent the evening in the hospital. The doctor determined he broke his clavicle and told him he could not ride. Well, Kenny won’t take no for an answer and is getting a second opinion from a TDL affiliated doctor. Like Elizabeth, we believe he will be back on the bike in no time.

Our Team Captain, Cayden, has decided we should all be bubble wrapped when we go out on a ride until we leave for RAAM. If she can figure out how we can ride while wearing bubble wrap, then we would all be happy to oblige.

We leave in 24 days to go to Oceanside and 26 more days until the start of the race. I still can’t believe it’s coming up so soon. There is so much left to do and many more miles to ride before we leave. It’s going to be here before we know it.
