I, along with 39 other Standard Chartered colleagues, will take part in a charity fundraising event called “Ride for Sight”, which is a 3 day, 260 mile bike ride from Boston to New York on June 30-July 2. “Ride for Sight” will help raise valuable funds for Seeing is Believing, a charity aimed at arresting blindness in developing countries. The route was planned prior to the terrible tragedy in Boston on April 15 2013.  In hindsight, choosing Boston as starting point was appropriate as it shows our support and respect for a great city and its people.

Anyone have a hard case I can rent/borrow or buy from them?

Thanks

I apologize if the tone of my earlier post suggested that I feel superior to anyone because I like to push myself to ride hard. If you prefer to ride at 12mph or 18mph or 20mph, good for you. I'm glad you're out riding your bike.

This is a last minute reminder that tonight's buffet dinner and program begin a bit earler than usual.

Cocktail time (i.e. informal schmoozing) - 6:00 PM

Buffet dinner - 6:30 PM

Program: 7:00 PM

Raffle : 8:30 PM (approximate) (Sponsored by Gran Fondo NJ - you can win a free entry into the gorgeous and challenging Gran Fondo NJ - valued in excess of $100.00, but only if your come)

Tip: Arrive early to get a good seat. We ordered 10 more dinners than usual, so "come hungry" and please dine with us. The Shepherd's Pie is delicious!

See you later

I had what I thought would be a really fun idea for a ride series this summer. Unfortunately, my focus this year has shifted and I'm not gunning for my jersey, so I'm not putting together these leads. However, I'm hoping that a ride leader or group of leaders (hey Siggies!!) would like to take this up.

Basically, the idea is to help the ongoing recovery of communities hardest hit by Sandy by riding out and patronizing their businesses. Wait, what was that? You mean, I can do good, help out others, and spread the wealth by buying ice cream and hot dogs on the boardwalk?! You mean, I should go to the beach?! Really, doesn't this sound like a very pleasurable way to speed the recovery of these places who are hanging on by their fingernails?

Hi guys,

I am doing the ride to Montauk on June 1st (the 152 miles) and would love to have some sort of paceline situation happening to make the ride less painful and more sociable.  Are you an A rider? did you sign up for Montauk? Would love to connect and ride...
