Pelotonia - The Postlude

Just wanted to post a sample of pictures from the Pelotonia weekend. As always, the entire photo album is at the picasa link located below the pictures. The event was extremely well organized, inspirational, and beautiful. It was an absolute blast riding through the beautiful Ohio countryside with Bud, Vicki, and Kristin. In the end, thanks to everyone's generous support and Matt's unending popularity, the Amaizin' Matt Domestiques raised over $12,000 for cancer research. This is $8,000 more than our goal! Truly Amaizin'.

Friday night was the opening ceremonies with several VIP's in attendance, including one Mr. Lance Armstrong (sorry for the bad photo, we were fairly far away).

The next morning, before the ride, we got within a stones throw of LA; just after he gave the last minute address to cyclists before the ride and rode his bike across the grass, through a parking lot (we were standing in) and to the front of the group.

Out on the road with Vicki, Bud, and Kristin. I was really proud of all of them, completing their longest rides ever (including some pretty significant rolling hills) still smiling at the end.
