M.O.R.E. Bicycle ride miles to help Brazilian children

I Joined Paul Meehan, Cristie-Lynn and Mike Bowman on a 20 mile bike ride on Thursday morning. They are MonaVie distributors riding their bikes from Vancouver Canada to Orlando Florida to raise money and awareness of the M.O.R.E. Project. Their journey is 4200 miles and they hope to raise $200,000 dollars. The project helps children and families in the slums around Rio de Janeiro providing education and assistance to struggling families.

It has been a while since I've ridden my bike. I enjoyed the fresh morning air and had a chance to see some of the back streets of South Jordan.

Sally Harvey looked stunning dressed in MonaVie Pulse cycling gear with a matching red bike. Darrell Weaver pulled away from the pack and I followed him. It was the fastest I had gone in full aero position. It was exciting to feel the bike respond and the wind pressing in my ears. Unfortunately, we took a wrong turn and was separated from the pack. We turned around at a dead end street and soon found Brian Gill who had been left behind. We rode in together. Our group added 450 miles to their trip miles.
