All 3 of us did show up afterwards, had some pizza, and I won one of the silent auction items :-) I was glad to be able to join the ride, if only for a while – the family member who was supposed to help with my son hadn’t shown up so I ended up having to bail.

I love how you recruited, planned and pulled off an amazing event and raised more money for two wonderful causes. Very inspiring! Great job!! I'm still not sure if I'll complete the 100 MoN this year. it's been a roller coaster for sure. I love reading the reports. I hope Fatty is able to run all of them. :) Excellent 100 MoN report Jeff!

Both charities invovle the kids so it'd be nice to find a way to bet them involved too! Just need to get more approvals and can't say how much the volunteers are needed, ALWYAS need more! Anyone who rides/runs/tris through the year should give back and help at least once in an event. That one time will surely turn into more.

Having expanded our 100MoN to eight riders, (3 registered, 5 poachers)with support, prizes and t-shirts, I really appreciate the magnitude of your effort. Mad props to you! Do you think you'll do something like this again? I KNOW I will, because I have to believe we've learned a little in the process and all that knowledge whould not go to waste. "Spin and Bid" is a great title... I can see posters, t-shirts, a mascot, and a famous Spin & Bid pie. Jeff, I am agog at your drive to make this ride a big event!
