In late March, Heidi Clayton – a cyclist in our community – was hit by a car while on a training ride in Ahwatukee. We won’t go into great details recapping the incident, but Joe Wells wrote an article about it here and WomensBikeTalk.com wrote about it here. Read both if you need to be brought up to speed with what happened and get a picture of the tough road to recovery Heidi is facing.

Now for something positive…

2 Wheels 4 Hope is (and this is taken directly off their website) “an Arizona based, nonprofit cycling event helping cyclists in need! We are committed to offering hope through fundraising and awareness. Your participation in the TT or Fun ride as well as your donations directly supports a chosen cyclist in need”.

It makes me happy to know that there are people in our community that grab the flag, organize the troops, and lead the charge to support us when terrible things happen.

I know we all live busy lives, and have other personal and athletic related goals and obligations, but please consider coming out to McDowell Mountain Park on June 5th for a moonlight time trial. It’s for a good cause.

Thanks,
