BVC A Note from Roelof and a Wrap Up

I got this from Roelof:

So true -- we hope life gets you back on the road again SOON, Roelof.

The Ride for Roelof drew 24 participants and raised $700!
Thanks to everyone who came out.  Thanks to everyone who helped
out.  I hope all the riders had fun out on their bikes and found
some compatible people to ride with.  I had a good time out on the 50
mile course, and enjoyed talking to the people that did it with me.

If you didn't make it to the ride, and still want to send in a
donation, see http://www.brazoscyclists.org/roelof.htm
I will try to keep posting the updates (or links to the updates)
on Roelof to that site.  

Best wishes,

Jean Marie
