The Elevation of the Bike to the Beach Ride

This might interest some people. These are two elevation maps that Colleen Magleby created of the Cycling Psychos ride. If you want to see more detail on either of them just click the graph and a new tab should open up. Then you can click it again to zoom in to see more detail.

2010 Pictures

Way to go everyone!!! This year was a great ride even though we had one injury and a couple flat tires. I will try to get everyone's pictures up as fast as I get them. To look at them just use the links on the left hand side or click on the picture in the slide show that you want to see. You can also click on the "2010 Pictures" above to see my album of all the pictures I get.

I am also hoping that I can compile all the pictures from everyone onto a CD and give all the families that were involved this year a copy.

I don't know how long Colleen Magleby will take to create the books for this year but it shouldn't be too long before she will personally give them to all those who paid for them. Also once I get the book I will but it online and create a link on the left hand side on this page that says "2010 Book," similar to the links to the books for previous years.

If you have pictures that you know I don't have or you don't see your pictures here, please let me know so I can get them on here for everyone to see.

Thank you again for everyone that helped out this year.

15 Bikers

Two new bikers are going to join our group this year making the final count 15 bikers. The Evensens' grandparents have decided to join the fun. They will be the oldest members ever to bike to the beach as a Cycling Psycho. This will make the gap in age from the youngest to the oldest Psycho the biggest we've ever had.
