[YarraBUG-list] Macedon Ranges - MS Cycle Challenge

[Yarra Bicycle Users Group]

Hi all,

My apologies, Graeme from BrimBUG has informed me that the date for the 
MS Challenge is now Sunday 4th May 2008.

See: http://www.gisbornerotary.org.au/news/macedon-ranges-ms-cycle-challenge


Today many people would of been saddened by the passing of the wonderful 
Sheldon Brown:

This evening, a excellent idea was suggested to honour Sheldon, why not 
also participate in the upcoming MS Summer Cycle on February 24?

Sheldon was diagnosed with MS in August 2007:

Team Captain Bike has been created with a goal of raising $2000:

If it's any recompense, I'm far from match fit and it would be lovely to 
have at least a couple of local domestiques on the Westgate climb!

Please either donate or think about participating, in some small way to 
honour Sheldons wonderful contribution towards cycling knowledge.

cheers,

Chris
