Before falling asleep, Debbie writes: Many thanks to Cathy Biersack of ATRVA (AIREDALE TERRIER RESCUE OF VIRGINIA who is always so willing to help out. I had to text the pics to Cathy, who in turn emailed them to Andréa. Thanks, Cathy. Total for today are 103.7 miles ridden & 4783 calories burned. It was a lot of fun. OK, so not really. It was a lot of work. It's the first time I've ever ridden that far. Prior to today, my best was about 85 miles. If you haven't made your donation yet, please do it. Even if it's a penny a calorie, or even a dime a mile. I'm sending in my pledge right now. It all goes to help the dogs that we love so much. Hey, do you all hear my shout-out for Andréa? Do any of you know anyone else who gives of her time so freely for all of our fundraising efforts? Thanks, Andréa. You rock & ROLL.
