Paul's Peloton

Just wanted to let you all know about our friend and the amazing thing that he is doing. Paul is a road-bike rider and has ridden in several long distance events. He is inspired by Lance Armstrong's riding success as well as Lance's dedication to cancer treatment & research. Each year, Austin, TX, holds "The Ride For The Roses" to benefit The Lance Armstrong Foundation. Paul has ridden in this 104 mile ride the past two years and this year decided to take it a step (actually 800 miles) further. He is riding his bike from his home in Red River, NM to Austin, TX and then will participate in "The Ride For The Roses". Today is Day 5 of his journey and he is in Roscoe, TX. He is promoting The Lance Armstrong Foundation and the town of Red River on his ride.

Paul is documenting his ride in his personal blog (http://paulspeloton.blogspot.com/) which gives a day by day description of his ride, the weather and the great people he's met along the way.

The mission statement for Paul's Peloton is "One person can make a difference". Sometimes it seems like we are overshadowed by corporations and politics and we may feel that our voice will never be heard. Paul is out to prove otherwise and I admire him greatly. He will certainly make a difference and give others hope to create change as well. I am honored to call Paul my friend and am amazed at his compassion, diligence and determination. Paul, you are my hero!
LIVESTRONG and Ride On!
