Ride For a Cause

Riders,

As we all know, Mac Smith's is a beloved institution for all cyclist in the area. How many times have you heard the phrases.... All roads lead to Mac's, I'll meet you at Mac's, I am turning around at Mac's, I need to use the restroom at Mac's, and last but not least all of the infamous tales of the sprint to Mac's! I think we have all been thankful many times for the bathroom, water, and the shade of the porch to refuel for those long rides. There have been many Saturdays that the SVR has taken over the whole parking lot!

Many of you may have seen on the Channel 4 news that Mac Smith's had a benefit for a friend of his suffering from cancer. This young man, Ted, is 26 years old with a wife and a new baby. His wife worked at Mac's, but had to be let go due to the economy. This family has no insurance to help with their mounting medical bills.

I doubt if Mac even knows what a blessing his store is and how much he "gives" to us, so let's show him and "give" back to him!

We would like to take up a collection and deliver it to Mac's on one of our Saturday Velo/Vance Rides this coming Saturday, February 12. You can donate cash or check (make to Ted Terrell). No amount is too small! Prayers for this young family are needed and certainly appreciated!

We are all so blessed to be able to physically get out and do something that we love....let's pass some of those blessings on!!

The ride starts at 0901 from the parking lot of New Spring Church in Anderson just off Hwy 81N. Come one, come all.

Thank you!

and

See You Saturday!
