Ashland Bike Ride 1986

One of the early family gatherings occurred in 1986.  William had convinced the Greg to do another bike ride, and Sean and Andi tagged along.  The ride was in Ashland, Oregon...so the rest of the family decided to tag along as well.  Not everyone made it, no Tim, no Pat.  But it was a pretty good turn out for those in those years of growing children and new jobs.

 Somehow, Mom & Dad don't appear in the pictures I have, but they were there.  All five cousins made it,  and they had a grand time playing..

 I did mention Andi tagged along on the bike ride, what I didn't mention is that she completed all 50 miles of that ride. At the end, her encouraging Uncles and her Dad urged her to the finish line.  And there she was...at TWELVE .. the youngest individual to EVER complete the ride... quite an achievement!!
