Watermelon Ride!


Today marks the 75th day counting down until the 3 soccer coaches trek across the state of IA AND BACK on the 800 mile Watermelon Ride. You can tell in the atmosphere of the office that we are all getting a little more excited and anxious about the ride as it comes closer. Training has been off and on for all of us, but will start a daily workout regimen today. We also are going to get our bikes fitted and route mapped out today, which will be helpful in learning the exact mileage we will be covering.

Last week was spent in Rockford, IL (the destination of the Watermelon Tournament where we will be recruiting) talking to businesses, newspapers, bike specialists, and soccer enthusiasts. The next month we will be focusing on Spencer, and the local people and businesses here. We've noticed an overall excitement through the community, that is very unique and keeps us motivated and working harder towards our goal in part with Positively Spencer Youth.

Keep your eyes open folks, because as soon as the snow melts, you will be seeing us riding around town, getting in our miles!
