I'm riding in support of Multiple Sclerosis in Waves to Wine 2015.... in a way

People have accused me of being long-winded when talking about MS. I’ll be concise this time.
- While I had intended to ride and had trained for it, I traveled instead, flying out on Sunday, the 20th. I did do a ride in the 100+ heat last weekend, September 19, before I left for fundraising: I am still serious about supporting the cause. You can see the map below. It was one of the tougher rides I have done, due to the heat and the fact that I supported myself rather than having a team of volunteers; I appreciated their work all the more. I took two “time outs” at a Subway and Starbucks to cool down and hydrate, with a few quarts of water each time. But I finished the ride. I greatly enjoyed a few parts, such as the trip in the hills east of Gilroy, back by Gilroy Hot Springs. I rode for an hour back there without another vehicle on the highway, and stopped to hear the woodpeckers and the breeze in the trees: quite beautiful. I also had a flat tire about 1/4 mile away from home. Of all the times it could have happened, this was the "best."
- Close to three thousand people are riding on the 26th and 27th.They hope to raise $2.8 million dollars to support local and national multiple sclerosis programs and research. They need your support, so you can support MS and me by contributing at their website, http://main.nationalmssociety.org/goto/CharlesMyers2015.
- If you have donated to MS already, thank you. If not, you can still make contributions to the ride and cause through the middle of October.
- I’ll be riding again next year. And I'm not planning any trips to eastern Europe during that time.
Here are a few pictures for the ride
