Ride For Doug 2008

Well, another year has come and gone for Ride For Doug. And just like last year, my good intentions for blogging my thoughts and feelings fell by the wayside. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't that I didn't feel like sharing them with the world - it's just that there was so much to DO, that I didn't have time to ponder on the experience of it.

Since the last time I blogged, I've:
  • finished organizing and holding the ride
  • tied up all the loose ends after the ride
  • gone out to Newfoundland for a family wedding
  • done a 2 week vacation in the Maritimes
  • completed the first third of a month long business trip
  • eaten a scorpion
I had really meant to include more about the experiences of organizing - but by the time I finished working on it - the last thing I wanted to do was update another website. If you haven't yet been to the ride website do it. www.RideForDoug.com You'll find photos, and a great slideshow set to a song composed specially for the day.

Oh yeah - Doug made the front page of the local paper. The WHOLE front page. To read the stories, go the the In the News section of www.RideForDoug.com

Anyhow, as I write this I am sitting in the Main Press Centre in Beijing, hoping nothing important breaks...
