Pedal Partner Giving Takes Off! 
For Cycle the WAVE 2011, riders and their friends and families stepped up to make Pedal Partner Giving a roaring success. Many riders gave donations above and beyond their registration fee to increase funds going to support domestic violence programs in King County. Many of those same riders also set up Pedal Partner Fundraising pages on our website to gather even more donations. They asked friends, family members, colleagues and neighbors, riders and non-riders alike, to give donations online or to write a check. The process was easy and quick. A rather healthy competition developed between some of the fundraisers and they pushed themselves to come up with creative ways to increase donations. It was no wonder, with some of the great prizes donated by our sponsors!
One supporter who is not a cyclist wanted to help, too, so for the first time, a Pedal Partner Party was held. Five women asked their friends to come and learn about the issue of domestic violence and give a donation. That evening, more than $1,600 was raised.
434 individuals gave $37,497! All donations, large and small helped make 2011 a record breaking year. Donations will continue to be accepted online until December 31st. View the winners. |
 The Core of Cycling -Shannon Treybig (Achieve Personal Training & Coaching)
How often do you think about your abs when cycling? If you answered never, you're in the majority. But the fact is, your abs are hard at work with every pedal stroke. While you may not feel tired in your abs, fatigue in the core muscles often results in slumped posture leading to back and shoulder pain. And that you'll definitely feel!
So how do we train those tummies? Turn on the telly and you're inundated with cockamamie torture devices guaranteeing THE most effective abdominal exercise of all time. And it can be yours for just four payments of $19.99 - hurry now! Or better yet, save your hard earned $$ and do these two foundation building exercises that require nothing but a few minutes of your day. Continued... |
