		<description>Regarding the weather: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.truerwords.net/fundraising/pmc/2004/01_pre_ride_excitement.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Go read about last year&#039;s ride.&lt;/a&gt; The weather was totally, utterly perfect.

This year the weather has been crazy. 95Ã‚Â° with 90% humidity one day, 65Ã‚Â° and 40% humidity the next. Certainly keeps us guessing.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s really the least I can do.  My grandfather died of cancer 20 years ago in Idaho and several of my friends have been personally affected.

I hope lots of people are inspired to donate.  I&#039;m surprised more people haven&#039;t pledged at least a little bit.  I hope my example leads more people to help push toward your goal.

As for riding in the PMC myself, I guess we&#039;ll have to see how I&#039;m doing after &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mt-olympus.com/apollo/archives/2005/05/04/eleven-years/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;my tour of the Rockies&lt;/a&gt; (which I&#039;m still planning).

Besides, y&#039;all have that humidity thing out there, don&#039;t you?  I&#039;m used to triple digit temperatures in the summer with 5 - 10% humidity.  Sounds like a radically different environment up there in the Northeast.

Still it sounds like fun.

Have a great ride.

		<description>Apollo!!!

Thank you, man, very much. That&#039;s really incredible, I appreciate it. The link is really helpful too!

I have a page that offers &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.truerwords.net/fundraising/how-to-pmc.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;other ways to sponsor the ride&lt;/a&gt;, too, and there&#039;s also an &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.truerwords.net/fundraising/sick-of-cancer.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;essay about why I ride in the PMC&lt;/a&gt;.

I wish more people could be motivated to help out just by reading something on my site. I would bet that about 0.5 percent of my readers have ever bothered to make a donation. Even worse, someone wrote to me immediately after that last post just to &quot;wish me well&quot; in my fundraising efforts. I&#039;m not even sure he got the irony.

Thanks again!

Seth

P.S. If you can work it out, you should fly out and ride with us next year. There were &gt; 25 riders from CA there last year. It&#039;s an incredible experience.</description>
