Consider the amazing Jonathan Pon Memorial Ride, May 2-3.     (Note: not listed on their site yet as of Mar20…)**

It is a 2-day weekend pre-June big ride preparation and stunningly beautiful and wonderful.   On Saturday, we bike to Russian River, with full “S.A.G.” (Support And Gear). They truck our tents, sleeping bags, and clothes up for us, and take care of rest stops and meals while en route. On Sunday, we bike a slightly shorter and mostly flat coastal route back to Sports Basement.   So just like “The Ride” – all we have to do is pedal and enjoy. It’s a great time and bonding experience and, for first time riders like Hunter and I were in 2008, it really helps you figure out how to prepare for the ride, what to pack, and helps calm the inner nerves! It’s an annual ride to commemorate the loss of one of the founders of The Positive Pedalers – people with the biggest hearts on the planet.
