Troop Ride 2010                                                 July 31, 2010

Nothing excites us more than finding photos in our inbox. Please keep sending them and I promise I will get them all posted eventually.  I am trying to post some every day so keep checking back.

We would like to send out a special Thank You to Tom Doud of Corning, NY.  Not only does he have a nice camera ( I am so jealous ) but he also has a great eye.  Please click on the photos tab above to check out the thirty or so pics that Tom was kind enough to let us post.  Thanks again Tom!

 

 

We are pleased to announce that we not only reached our goal of $8,000 but we exceeded it! Troop Ride raised over $16,000 this year for the USO care package program.

We counted 465 riders that registered at the beginning of the ride, but we know we picked up many riders along the way.

 

 

I have a few more Thank Yous to mention:

Curly's Chicken

Sheesley’s Sewer Service

Crystal City Bakery

Hard Hit Productions

Dunkin Donuts

Sweet n Saucy

Elmira Trophy

Brico Technologies

Thank you for everything you did to make this year such a success.

 

I am starting to post 2010 photos.  You can find the link on the photos page.  I'm going to be posting 10 or so random photos every day.

 

 

On behalf of the Troop Ride committee, we would like to thank all of you for making this year such a success. We couldn't have asked for better weather and we were overwhelmed by the amount of support we received.  I know everyone is anxious to see pictures and statistics about the ride. Give us a couple of days to recoup and we will be happy to share those.

We will be posting photos of the ride here on the photos page as they are available.  If you have any photos you would like to see posted please email them to troopride@stny.rr.com.  If you would like your name listed on the photo for artistic credit please indicate that in your email.  All photos will be edited for content.

Statistics such as how many riders and how much money raised will be posted here by Friday.  Please keep checking back here. 

We also love to hear comments about how much you enjoyed the ride or suggestions about how to make it better next year.  Shoot us an email with your thoughts.
