This year, as Team Red captain, I've been included on the planning board for the tour. It has been a great experience so far. I have a little experience planning charity events, but nothing like this. The logistics of organizing a ride for 500-plus cyclists is quite daunting.
Saturday we had the route planning committee meeting. This year the event is going back to Weston. Longtime riders may remember that Wheels to Weston as it was known then was a signature event on the cycling calendar. It became logistically difficult to continue that ride, but this year we're going back.
The route will be officially released in two weeks, so I won't say more, but we have created a route this year with something for everyone. Families can ride around English Landing Park in Parkville and there are two routes to Weston, one with no hills and a more challenging route for what one of the board members calls "The hardbodies."
I'll be in full swing with fundraising and team recruiting in the next few weeks. Last year Team Red fell just short of being the top team. I mean, we were short by something like $30. Not this year!
Go Team Red!
