2008, 35th annual San Diego Midnight Madness Bike Ride

a.k.a. "the what would you do if your wife became disabled" ride

Eighth year in a row Meredith was able to go on the ride. The tandem tricycle from last year suffered a terrible setback when the seat fell off on the way to an Easter "Silent ride", seat got run over and flattened, maybe I'll find time to fix it for next year...

Used the original "Say Happy Birthday to Meredith" sign. The contests were started pretty close to 10 PM, we missed them both because we had a birthday dinner, then had to load everything up AND got stuck in Padres traffic after the game.

Please help end the devastating effects of Multiple Sclerosis.

Very international this year, many foreign accents! Thank you everyone for wishing Meredith a happy birthday. And for those of you who sang Happy birthday as you rode by, it really wasn't necessary...



My costume was:
"Biker with Beer Belly"



Mmm Kay...



Afraid to light their tiki torches, probably a good idea with the shield right behind them, oh and the grass skirts.
I didn't see any fire this year!!!



Hey! No yawning!! It's contagious!!!



What do you think this is, a slumber party?
That would be funny. Pizza boxes, nail polish, pillow fight.
Anybody do that next year, find me so I can take your photo!

The original Flashlight man was on our other side, his grandson here had a huge light as well.



This is why I ride. To raise awareness and funds for Multiple Sclerosis.
With your help, we can "scratch out MS"
