June 3rd BBQ and bike ride!

Okay the details finally!

I sent off an evite to anyone subscribed to this page. This message will post on facebook as well in case you are following me there. I will also tweet it 🙂

Please RVSP through evite rather than respond to this post. Indicate how many guests and comment on how many vegetarians you will bring: Evite link!

For those who want to have a bit of fun you can join me in our casual ride from Richmond to Jericho pond. It will start at 10:30. Details can be found on this google map: Map of the ride.

I do have the volunteers I need and I will be sending them a private e-mail on the details once we have an idea on the number of people.

Looking forward to seeing you all – shit it is only 5 days away!!!!

June 3rd eaters and well wishers

Well if people are going to bring food then we will need people to eat. I am still working out the details but I will be riding from Richmond to Spanish Banks. I want to get a rough idea of how many people might attend. Just comment on this post or send an e-mail to adollakilometer@gmail.com.

A few weeks before June 3rd I will send out another message to confirm who is really coming.

Other stuff:
I will be running the Vancouver Marathon this weekend – hopefully with special t-shirt. Come out and cheer me on! This is probably my last run until I get into the serious bike training. Stay tuned for some training videos and challenges, think of mountains!!!

June 3rd volunteers

Hey folks, I need between 8 – 10 volunteers for my send off Sunday June 3rd. We just need you for a few hours and of course you will not miss out on the festivities. You would be involved in one of the following: setting up a food table, taking turns on the Barbecue or helping clean up after. Most of the food will be prepared in advance so it is only a matter of putting it out and refilling stuff. Each volunteer will get a lovely “A dollar a kilometer” t-shirt which is worth its weight in gold. You can just leave a comment on this post if you are interested.

First day: group ride Sunday June 3rd

Hey folks,

It looks like I will start my journey on Sunday June 3rd. I will start my ride in Richmond and have a pit stop at either Spanish Banks or Stanley Park for a BBQ event. I want to encourage all levels of riders to join me for the ride so we can make a statement! Barring making any kind of statement it would be nice for me to ride with friends and well wishers as a send off. Also, anyone can ride with me the first day of the city and I want to extend that to anywhere along my journey people are welcome to ride with me and share a conversation.

At this point nothing is formerly organised but I wanted to get the message out for those who might come.

Cheers!
Jeff
