Psycows for Sarah

This past Saturday and Sunday was our big bike marathon, from Sussex to Saint John and back, for Multiple Sclerosis. This is our third year, and the second year as a team. Sheila, Bruce, Tanya, and Jesse biked the first year and for the second year we decided to form a team and we called ourselves the Psycows. Victoria biked with us the second year, and this year Tanya's sister in law, Maria took her place. I think Maria will be a permanent part of the team. Carrie wasn't in our team, but she did bike along with us, from Sussex to Norton.


Last year, our first year as a team, we won the trophy for second place in team fundraising. Here is Bruce with our Silver trophy, as we had to hand it back in.


This year we now had another goal, and we achieved it..First place! So here we are with our Gold trophy.
Here is a pic of Jesse, played out. He has been trying to keep up with his Dad, but can't seem to do it.

Here we are on the return trip, Bruce & Jesse at the finish line, Tanya & Maria just after finishing, and Sheila after finishing.Keep in mind that Bruce crossed first, then went back to get Jesse. Maybe he is helping him across??



We were happy that we could have all the grandchildren come and see us at the finish line, in their Psycow shirts. Stacy spent most of Friday evening making the shirts for them. And special mention to Ashley, Jesse's girlfriend, who made the trip from Truro to volunteer this weekend. She looked after the Hammond River rest stop, and rang her cow bell faithfully as our team showed up.
And finally we have a pic of Jesse, Bruce, & Tanya, in their new Club 2000 bike outfits. You really have to see it to appreciate it!
