Kevin and I thank you for joining us on this adventure. Kevin is an unpaid volunteer. If you appreciate his efforts in lieu of tips he has asked donations be made at
Team Foster to support their incredible mission to provide accredited, life-saving service dogs to injured and disabled Veterans. This will be Kevin's 7th year participating.
Team Foster's mission is very important to Kevin (retired veteran) and he is proud to cycle with them to make a difference. Please support Kevin and them by giving to his page. On most tours riders average a tip of $15 a day, but every dollar counts! It is tax deductible!

Thank you and keep on pedaling.
Sincerely,
Paul B Schlimme
