Limetime
Each year, the PMC sends out a “yearbook”, really a glossy annual report sort of affair. Last night I received my 2006 PMC yearbook.
The yearbook’s usually good reading. It’s the one place where you can get a high-level overview of how the year went: the number of riders, the fundraising, the organization’s goals and achievements, and, of course, the inspirational stories that motivate us all to keep riding and raising money to make the world a better place for everyone who follows us.
But the 2006 yearbook will always be a special treasure for me, because for the first time, my name appeared within its pages. It’s nothing major: just “Ornoth Liscomb” and the number “6”, to indicate how many years I’ve participated. Even though it appears on page three of a four page list along with 1350 other “Heavy Hitters”, it appears under the heading “$6,000”, for those who broke that fundraising plateau, which is something I’m deeply proud of.
Other than that, there hasn’t been much riding happening lately, other than the 2-mile commute to work, but I expect that to change soon. I have a trip to Vegas in March, and I plan on doing a hilly 30-50 mile ride out to Red Rock Canyon and back, possibly via Blue Diamond. And I hope to get a 300k randonnée under my belt this year, although I suspect that’ll be either the 6/4 or 7/21 rides, rather than the guaranteed to be chilly, early season 4/28 ride!
