Ride for Karen

I don't know if many of you have visited Memory Lane which is a small clearing on the north side of the ski hill of the same name. For several years it has been possible to buy a plaque and have it placed in Memory Lane to memorialize friends or family who skied by there year after year without a care in the world, grinning ear to ear with high speed turns on their minds. Karen Menyes-Gasparini was one of those speed demons, a beautiful skier who graced the hills of Blue for many years. As mentioned a few blogs back Karen lost her fight with cancer recently and there is no doubt in my mind that Karen's name should be placed in Memory Lane. The cost to have a plaque made and placed is $1000 which has to be done through Blue Mountain. To raise money for the plaque we are going to have a bike ride on July 16, 2011 starting at Kim Eckersley-Mosleys chalet at 11:00 AM. There will be both mountain bike rides going as well as road bikes and afterwards there will be a barbeque which will cost $5. We are hoping to raise money through donations and tax receipts will be available. It should be a fun day. An evite has been created and sent out so if you don't get one and would like to attend please let me know in the comments. It will be a fun day I'm sure and like I said before, Karen belongs there. Thanks, I hope to see you on July 16.
