859 miles riden by 14 chix to raise over $8,500!

What a season for ABCx!
We completed the Mamma Jamma ride on Saturday! all together 14 ABCxers rode 859 miles and raised over $8,500 for 11 local breast cancer organizations!
And we looked great doing it and had a blast!


 
Some quotes from facebook!

"I wanted to take this time to thank my wonderful friends, my team Austin Bike Chix and my AWESOME mom for being so supportive of me while I trained for my 70 mile ride. This was the most physically and mentally challenging goal I've ever set for myself. All of the phone calls/text messages on Friday and Saturday really touched my heart :-) If you donated, thank you a million times again for helping women in the Austin area who are currently battling breast cancer. If you haven't, don't fear! There is still time to give a donation, big or small. Please visit the Mamma Jamma Ride website and look up Austin Bike Chix to donate."--Theresa

"Ride was successful!! Just waiting for our team to arrive from their century ride. Next year, we'll be the ones riding in from the century! :)" --Georgian (so nice of the team to hang around until the century riders finished!)

"Having a great Mamma Jamma ride!! At the half-way point. BEAUTIFUL day!!" --Georgian

"a special thanks to those of you who donated your hard earned money to the mamma jamma ride. we raised over $300,000, which will help pay utility bills, car payments, mastectomy, chemo and much more for women in central texas. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! with love and appreciation, nancy."
