>Hi all.
>
>I see that you're all 'administrators' for respective Triumph bike owners
>mailing list. I've got a message to get out to the group regarding an
>upcoming charity ride.
>
>I'm hoping that you can help me rally riders to get the word out and
>participate in the "Reverse Pony Express" to benefit the workers and
>families of US Postal Service affected by anthrax terrorism.
>
>According to our conversations we expect all major manufacturer support, the
>AMA, and the MSF of this unique ride. There is no cost to anyone to
>particpate and help other than your time and own cost for gas for their
>bike. This event is self funded and run by volunteers.
>
>Basically, a small group of riders is going to retrace the original Pony
>Express route backwards delivering a letter from California Gov. Gray Davis
>to President Bush. Along the way there will be stops and parade rides to
>allow other riders to ride and raise money.
>
>You can find all the details on my web site at:

>Thanks. Please take the time to read about it. Response so far has been
>great. Here's what one postal worker who rides had to say:
>
>"I'm a Postal Worker in Minneapolis and would like to lend my whole hearted
>support to this ride. Postal Workers are the airheads of the communications
>world, and we share a "simple by choice" philosophy. I especially appreciate
>your focus on helping Postal Worker's survive this crisis. We have Postal
>Workers that are having to pay for Cipro out of their own pockets. Cipro and
>other antibiotics can keep you puking your guts out, and over 2,000 postal
>workers will probably be on antibiotics for 60 days. Some of these folks
>will be running out of sick leave and the Postal Service's temps receive no
>health insurance at all. So we have Postal Workers that will definitely need
>some help!
>
>With your permission, I'd like to forward your post to a Postal Workers list
>I'm on. Thanks for the great idea, and hope to
>join you for part of the ride.
>
>Peace,
>
>Dyna"
>
>Can you get the word out to your community and copy me on the message? I'm
>collecting e-mails with contact info for volunteers and riders. Going great
>so far.

>Regards,
