Looking for Past Wild Ride participants! (Read 522 times)

Turtle honorary rbent member & handcyclist Posts: 24	Looking for Past Wild Ride participants! Apr 9^th, 2009, 2:36pm I've been contacted by the Richardson Wild Ride to find people who have ridden in the ride in the past and live in Richardson or Plano. Please contact me if you're willing to be interviewed for a possible story. Thanks! Turtle

Reply #2 - Apr 9^th, 2009, 4:52pm They are looking to do stories on individuals that ride for a reason. Since the organization raisers money for cancer research, they're looking to do "pieces" on people who were touched by cancer...i.e. family, friends...and that's why they do the ride.

Well, I do work for an online newspaper. And 4 of my 5 grandparents died from one form or another of cancer (one grandparent re-married after a divorce). I guess it wouldn't be too far of a stretch to say I ride for a reason, and just not mention that I ride mainly to move my butt from point A to point B, at a time of my choosing.

I ride my bike to ride my bike, and sometimes it takes me where I need to go.
