Hi BMX Society!

Rides like a dream

On Sept. 26th, I'm riding 100 miles for Multiple Sclerosis on my factory original 1979 BMX Mongoose with Motomag wheels - am I the first to attempt a 100 mile ride on Motomags?  If not, let me know. I honestly don't know if I can do the full 100 miles but I'm going to try.  I've been training and one time I did 80 miles but it was hard, 100 miles is a tough ride even on a 21 speed.

You can check it out what I'm doing here: http://www.bmxmongoose.com

But if I reach my fundraising goal, I promise to complete the entire 100 mile ride and afterwards, I'll probably crash into a tree. If you can't donate, I totally understand but if you'd still like to help, there's something you can give that doesn't cost a penny: a mouse-click.  Click the "digg" button on my website - The more "diggs" I get, the more exposure it will get and perhaps even more donations to MS too. If you have trouble finding the digg button, use this direct link: http://digg.com/othe...ake_BMX_History

I twittered Lance Armstrong about it but I don't think he was impressed.

But my reward will be the look on the multi-speed-cyclist's faces when an Old School BMX with Motomags rides past them at the 80 Mile Finishing Line and onward toward the final 20 Mile Century Loop!

Thanks for listening!
