24 I want to let you know how much all of our S4EA group enjoyed the ride. From my vantage point, it went off without a hitch. Many thanks from all of us. Maybe we can arrange a ride with the coalition sometime before next year's Pedal to the Park.

77 Coach Gary leads his some of his soccer team girls by Aerospace Museum. "The kids enjoyed themselves and said they would do it again. I enjoyed seeing parts of Balboa Park that I hadn't seen in years. The leisurely ride allowed us some good conversation along the way. The kids also learned a lot about riding in the city and obeying traffic laws. It was a fantastic day - a great bike ride, a great baseball game."

101 I can't begin to say how thankful I am for really getting to participate and discover the true meaning behind it all by having the opportunity to captain a blind stoker. All I could think about afterward was how much respect I have for all those kids, especially the ones like Harrison who have such an incredible outlook on life. I cannot fathom or even begin to wrap my fingers around the concept of losing my sense of sight and I was truly touched by all the Braille Institute kids.
