BACK TO THE FUTURE... well.... present.

Holy smokes, just read my last post and it was a major blast from the past! I had plans of doing a loooooad of cycling in the summer however, through a creative scenario (on a bike I should add) I broke my right clavicle (collar bone). Soooo yeah I didn't get to really bike at all too much because two surgeries and one whole summer later I was just getting well enough to ride, and then school started. Lame.

There have been many huge changes, and I'd be here till we leave if I try to talk about them all, so instead I would just invite you to make your way to our EPIC Riders website where you can find all the information you may want to know! We just updated everything so its fresh and new! Like new linens on the bed.... but less comfortable if you try to sleep on it... so I don't recommend it.

If you still cant find something on the site, feel free to send me an email at EvanJRedka@gmail.com or visit the Contact Us page on our website to contact other members.

Thanks for the support,
Cheers

Evan, Team Encourager

EPIC re-re-cap

Sorry for the delay in posts everyone, I've been crazy busy with sports and school. Right now I'm working on getting our "Kilometers for Freedom" fundraiser up and going! There will be a larger release at a later date once  it's all set up. However, here's a sneak peek! With an end goal of $50,000 for this fundraiser, we will be 'selling kilometers'. How will this work you ask? Simple. Once we have our set rout, we will take the distance and divide our goal by that, this will give us a price per kilometer, and we will then sell the kilometers! Kilometers can be purchased by submitting your money, and we will let you know what Kilometer number or numbers you purchased. Then, at the end of each day on our trip, we will update our trip blog with the kilometers we rode that day, so you will know exactly when we rode in appreciation of your support. Again, stay tuned to our blogs, our website http://www.epicriders.org/ and our EPIC Riders group on facebook, http://www.facebook.com/EPICRiders for further information, and the price of a kilometer.

In other news... Training time unfortunately been minimal but I will be going out very soon to get some more time in! I was going to go out today since it is so lovely out.... but decided you were more important! I will be meeting with my managers sometime in the near future to organize my work schedule for the summer so I have lots of time to get out riding! I want to double my summer biking distance that I set last year.

Our current team status is four riders with the recent loss of our driver, so if you or someone you know would be interested in partaking of this EPIC trip as the most EPIC driver around, let us know this will be a crucial roll on the team and is needed to make this endeavor successful.

Last but not least, please be praying for the whole team! The organization of this is not easy, especially for our mastermind Ben! We all have school and are doing our best, but we could use all the help we can get!

Thanks,
Evan Redka
