 "We did it! We made it and I can only speak for myself, but I can still move today", says Rotarian Kelly Dawson. Joined by fellow members Scott Sawyer and Greg Leonard and friend John O’Hagan, the group made the trek around Chautauqua Lake, 44 miles, in less than 4 hours. The team sends a shout out to member Bob Terreberry and his neighbor for providing them with a halfway point rest area refreshments and encouragement for the remainder of the trek! Kelly also said, "I am really thankful to the guys for not leaving me behind since I was riding a street mountain bike which would only switch between two gears, courtesy of a former not to be named and much loved Rotary Exchange Student." | ||
When the team started out, they had a cycler from the Holiloft cycling team with them, but he promptly departed at Lakewood beach. "We warned him this was a slow and steady ride.... He was very polite about it and confirmed the route around the lake", she said.
The team of three Rotarians raised more than Governor Frank's suggested $100 a member for Polio eradication helped along by the non-riding Rotarians in the club.
