The 500 Mile Man

As we all came to an end of our journey a couple of days ago and are all here in Orlando for the IHG Owners and Investors Conference, we all have had a couple of days to reflect and thinking about everything.  There is one person that I wanted to recognize and thank..

When Chris Bates (Area Manager in the West Region) and I sat down and talked about ways to raise money, I mentioned this knowing that Chris was have to drive and the knowledge to guide us along the way. He helped me pick my bike (since I did not have one), what items to buy prior and showed most of us during the ride how to change a tire and be as comfortable as possible.

And lets not forget, he completed 500 Miles!  From the moment he got there, he started, a beast in the seat, he pushed us all to want to be better on the bike, and never forgot the reason that we did this..  A true friend along with the rest of us will share this experience for a life time.

Thank you Chris for maintaining this blog, helping us throughout that entire journey...

Congrats buddy, you are the 500 mile man!
