Providence
Bridge Pedal 2000
They said 16,000 riders came out to ride this
year. Luckily, we got off to an early start and didn't look
back. Every year we forget the camera - this year was no
different - we again missed some nice city shots from atop
Portland's bridges. Unfortunately, we rode too fast and
finished before The Bite opened - breakfast was a better
option at that time of the morning, and we really needed the
several extra miles up to Sammy's and back.

raised over $35,000 for multiple sclerosis.
Many thanks to all of our riders, their sponsors, families,
and supporters. You are all contributing to an important
