We Ride for Roger - Memorial Ride

We can't believe it's been a year since Roger was tragically killed by a distracted driver, who was on a cell phone. Roger was biking from San Diego, CA to Jacksonville Beach, FL to build awareness and raise funds for the victims of the 2010 Gulf Coast Oil Spill. We are honored that more than 20 Pensacola area cyclists will gather on October 6, 2011, to honor his legacy and help us finish Roger's remaining 300 miles, ending with a tire dipping on October 9th in the Atlantic ocean.

Two Days of Rest

With the long day of cycling on Sat. we made it to the western side of Pensacola, 17 miles from our home in Gulf Breeze, FL.
To time our arrival in Jacksonville, FL for next Saturday (we will have some family joining us to celebrate) we took two days of rest at our home. The rest and time away from traveling has been enjoyable and we are ready to push to the finish, leaving tomorrow AM.
Pensacola, (America's first settlement) has flown the flags of five countries - Spain, France, England, the Confederate States and the United States.

Don Tristan de Luna, from Spain landed in 1559, but the permanent settlement in Pensacola was not established until 1698.
