SO I biked and biked and then, guess what I did?
I biked some more friends!
The great ending after Sonny Spina finished 283 kilometers was the huge gathering of money and donations to the tune of more than 102 thousand dollars!
The best news I could have imagined is that Spina announced there will be a 2nd Pedals for Possibilities next year in 2019!

Having spent some time on the seat next to Sonny, I became more and more enthusiastic about biking with him on the public 40kms. the final day of the ride, than ever before.
As we approached a school quite out of the blue, the children’s roars and chants to their Super Sonny the biking Hero became apparent. I snapped as many pics as I could even though I was out of breath and out of shape for this type of ride.
Yes, even took some videos as well.
I thought there would be many cyclists, but not so much. The average speed each of these pros cycled at, about 15-17 kph.
I knew I was in a big heap of trouble on my fat bike mustering 11KPH max.
I had the Kick ass Bluetooth speaker , however, so I had a ton of fans at the beginning of the jaunt.
I know I won’t change a lot for the 2nd annual and I’m looking forward to raising much needed dollars for The United Way here, locally.

For our friends in the US of A, a great Memorial Day Weekend is quickly approaching this coming weekend and there WILL be plenty of BBQ’s being fired up, for sure! Here is the BBQ list for the Day/ Weekend!
