This coming Saturday, about 20 Columbus-area folks are cycling down to Mexico Beach, Fla., over two days. That's about 250 miles from where I sit. (And believe me, I'll be sitting on Saturday and then probably riding a much shorter distance later, around town or at the gym.) This ride has been a tradition since 1991, when three guys challenged themselves to ride to the beach--only, the day of their departure, it rained 5 inches so they delayed it by a day and rode it in 2 instead of 3. It's remained a 2-day haul ever since. A couple of years ago, the cyclists used it as a benefit for a local hospice, and this year for an autism center, seen here.
Bridges is quite a colorful and interactive place. The director, Bardie Brady, has a son with autism. She's a dynamo.
If you are looking for a good cause to support, try this, or call Bardie to check out Bridges yourself: 706-317-2903.
