Tour de Fargo

Jason completed his 11th bike ride with the National Multiple Sclerosis Society this weekend. He logged 150 miles on his bike over two days, teaming up with others in the region to raise thousands of dollars for the North Central States Chapter of the NMSS. He had a wonderful ride - lots of great people, enthusiasm, OK weather and energizing rest stops. The kids and I cheered him on each morning and were able to see him come in yesterday afternoon. He's already thinking about next year's ride.

That's not to say the weekend was perfect - getting the kids up at 5:45 each morning and whisking them out the door at 6 a.m. made for very long days and crabby mom kids. But we'll take some naps and go easy today to make up for it.

I'll show them more photos from the event and we'll discuss how it helps those in our community. And how it's one of daddy's favorite things to do each summer.

Ready to take off, day one

Ready to go, day two

Cheering for Daddy at the send off

Daddy's pack coming in Sunday afternoon

Go Jason!
