Davis to Folsom

from Martin
3. Why you want to do this ride
In support of your mission
4. Tell us about your touring experience- if
little or none, indicate
many miles have you ridden over the last year:
I tour a little everyday if possible. My tours are mini adventures in my neighborhood on my highwheel bicycle..
5. Tell us about your bike
I am planning on riding a 60" highwheel bicycle that was built by Dave Moore. Dave Moore is famous for building the tallest highwheel bike every ridden...over 11ft. tall!
6. Describe your training regimen
Goal of 100 miles a As I mentioned, I ride pretty much everyday. I also enjoy running barefoot. Checkout www.runningbarefoot.org
7. How are you making time for this
Luckily, I own my own business, so I said, "Ted, take time off for this ride", and I agreed with myself.
8. What are your fears about doing this ride
I fear that I will be the only one in the entire Nation who will show up. I hope I am wrong.
9. Do you have any special skills that you feel
would benefit the Mayors' Ride?
Either too many to list, or not enough. Not sure which.
10. Do you have any personal contacts that you feel could help the National Bicycle Greenway or the Mayors' Ride? If so, please list them here:
Not that I can recall offhand.
If you are involved with other non-profit organizations, please tell us about them:
Stonehurst Garden at my daughter's elementary school. See www.StonehurstGarden.org
Anything else you'd like to share with us?
Just that I love riding highwheel bicycles and would like to encourage many more to ride and build them.

 | Restaurants, lodging and other support services will spring up along the Greenway, creating new jobs, and the structures that support these services will be designed to enhance the natural character of the Greenway. On some parts of the Greenway network, young people can find summer work transporting elderly and disabled people on bike taxis. Here, a bike shuttle service will also be available for transporting items that are inconvenient to be carried on a bicycle. |
