    Dana,

    Very happy to contribute. I thank you every single time I ride the path and round the curve where the 14th bridge path meets the MVT. Also greatly appreciate all the work you’ve been doing with NPS to plan improvements on the DC end of things. Thanks for the great ABAC minutes write ups and all the help you’ve given to individual cyclists too. You do so much in so many ways!

    It’s cool that the funds raised will benefit WABA too – especially since they couldn’t get the permits for their biggest fundraiser this year.

    I want you to be able to do this ride!

    On the way to work this morning, I participated in a focus group. Like most focus groups, I had no idea who was paying for it or what their agenda was. Turns out, BP (yeah the Gulf oil spill BP) was testing some new public communication strategies to help me (actually you too) understand they’d done a great deal in the Gulf and we all should be appreciative. Alas, I might have been less appreciative than they hoped.

    The good news is that the $125 I got for the focus group might be the first BP dollars that go to the Climate Ride! It will be going in the next donation I make. Seems only fitting the oil industry should help with cycling advocacy.
