Hi Everyone!
I'm new to these forums, but I have a quick question to ask:
*On event day - how do you remember/honor/memorialize your honorees?*
I am riding in memory of my sister, first and foremost. But as I've started raising money, I've asked people to let me know who else they would like me to ride in memory or in honor of...
I'm doing the Lake Tahoe Century ride, and so far I have 2 ideas:
Wear ribbons on my jersey with the names of my honorees
Place honoree names on my bicycle (i.e. using Dymo Tape, etc... Picture here: http://picasaweb.google.com/diertac/TeamInTraining#5297584712034677970
I'm looking at needing to honor 15+ people on my ride and while honoring my sister is fairly straightforward (I will have a picture of her on my jersey as well as some other stuff) I was wondering what other participants have done. I am thinking of including a survey on my blog with various options so that my donors can have a voice as well, but if there are only 2 options out there, it's not really worth a survey now, is it? ![]()
Just wondering what everyone does. This is my first event and I really want it to be spectacular, not just for me (I know it will be) but for people who are donating to my ride and particularly people who have lost someone to cancer or leukemia. I want them to feel like the person that they've loved and lost has a day of their own riding through Lake Tahoe in 2009.
Thanks!! ![]()

What our Team and, most people do, is to wear the ribbons with the names on them. My wife rode as a participant last year and took names from donors along with her personal heros name. Make sure that you use a permanent marker on the ribbons in case it rains.
