What do YOU do when riding?

Jim Ortmeyer composes poetry!

Gayle and Brendon had a thought, 
To fight MS is what we ought!

We'll build a team and raise some cash,
And ride in that little MS dash.

So ride they did avoiding wrecks, 
Straining necks and cashing checks.

The team it grew, we're all addicted 
To raising funds to help afflicted. 

The unrivaled base camp with Sue cooking 
Has other riders,  drooling, looking. 

Some rides were wet, more often dry,
Gayle's kept our spirits high. 

We've kept riding, good or delirious, 
We are strong and we are Sirius. 

25 years, 600 g's,
That's not a figure at which you sneeze. 

Gayle and Brendon should be praised
For all of the money that they have raised!

(Jim Ortmeyer 2023)
