I shall be volunteering for route signing for the United Performing Arts Fund Ride for the Arts next weekend.  In previous years, I rode as a Bike Marshal on the 50-mile ride, the last two years,going over the Daniel Hoan Bridge over the mouth of the Milwaukee River.  This ride, Milwaukee's largest, draws 7,000 riders each year.  The next time I see my orthopedist, I expect to get cleared to ride, but I won't be adequately prepared to act as a Bike Marshal.  Even if my arm is healed sufficiently to let me ride, my bike will still be in the shop because the shop has a two week backlog and I put it in this past Friday.  I'd like to invite my fellow Chainlinkers to Milwaukee for the UPAF Ride.

Nice to meet you this morning, Tony.  I often volunteer to help with Chainlink tables just because I like this place in spite of itself. ;-)

I recently volunteered to be a Bike Buddy.  http://chicagobikebuddies.wordpress.com/  All of you with way more experience than I, just roll your eyes surreptitiously.  But, I can probably relate better to the newbies since it was not so very long ago that I thought I was safer on the sidewalk than on the street.
