This is not our first time cycling a long distance tour nor our second. Lisa and I have together put thousands of kilometers on our butts (or bikes). We decided years ago (after our Trans-Canada Cycling Tour in 2002) that we wanted to do this ride (see map below) but it was not until April 2010 that we knew we just couldn't ride for just ourselves. The Gulf Coast Oil Spill happened and we could not think of a better way to spend this tour than to raise funds for the clean up...and so, "Get out the Grease!" was created.
Following this post will be introductions of both Lisa and I, who we are, what we do, etc. We will also provide information about the Oil Spill, Gulf Coast Oil Spill Fund (where the money being raised will go) and more on our ride.
The most important part of this blog is the "To Donate" page. Here you will be able to find out how you can donate to the "Gulf Coast Oil Spill Fund".
We are hoping to raise over $3000 for the Fund but we are only two people and need all the support we can get! If you donate over $20 and send us a picture we will take you along on our ride and dedicate that part of the day to you! Imagine, it's just like you were there with us!
Thanks for taking the time to begin our adventure with us and don't forget you are always welcome to join us on the road!
Happy cycling!
