Friday, August 12, 2011
Dear Seeing Eye Supporter,
The Seeing Eye has paired up with Gran Fondo New Jersey (GFNJ), a bike tour and weekend of activities that are centered around Morristown. Gran Fondo means "big ride" or "big endurance" in Italian. There are three routes – the 103-mile Gran Fondo, the 63-mile Medio Fondo and the 43-mile Piccolo F ondo. GFNJ is an exciting fundraiser and ride — not a race — that will feature timed hill climbs with all the carnival-like culture of European tour mountain climbs.
The bike tour and other GFNJ festivities will take place August 26-28, 2011. The ride itself will take place on Sunday, August 28. The event will benefit three charities, including The Seeing Eye. In
The Seeing Eye team is led by Seeing Eye President & CEO Jim Kutsch and his wife Ginger, who will be riding tandem bikes with the husband and wife team of Rob Steidlitz and Kirsten Hotchkiss as their captains. Rob and Kirsten are Seeing Eye supporters and we are glad to have them on our team.
Are you curious about what it’s like to train for such a long and challenging bike ride? Follow Ginger’s blog titled, “Ginger’s Cycling Blind Journal,” at http://gingerkutsch.wordpress.com
The two tandem bike teams have a friendly competition going to see who can raise the most money for The Seeing Eye – the women or the men!
