Rather than collect his winnings, David has asked that I donate those winning on his behalf to my favorite charity(maybe cycling related) in his and Cycling Experiences… names. That is an excellent idea. I selected the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy [RTC] and David agrees. I will make the donation [$100] tomorrow, 12/08/2009. At David’s request, the money will go to the Southeast Region Rails-to-Trails ~ office in Tallahassee, Florida. David, thanks for the kind gesture. We may even see some mention of this on the RTC Trailblog. |

Thanks Jim. And it’s kind of cool that I am the first to officially congratulate you on your 100,000th hit! I’m looking forward to much more from you and Cycling Experiences. Well done!!!
Hello David,
Congratulations. It is good your birthday was on the 4th. BTW, we share our birth month. I’m on the 17th.
Terry got you on my first announcement a few post before this one. You do have the first on the one that removes the anonymity.
Th number roll on. Now, where is Zeke???
Have a good evening.
Jim
Hot Dang! I’m pleased to be the oldest sibling of David “Blue Ridge” Yount. I didn’t even know his call sign was “Blue Ridge”… See you can learn something new every day. I’m just sorry that I didn’t get to mention that I am his favorite charity before you selected the Rails To Trails group.
Seriously though, his generosity is of no surprise to me. He’s a good man of great character and I’m pleased that his birthday “power” was greater than my “anniversary” power in the picks!
Congrats Bro David!

What a class act, David. Your actions and words give us all a warm feeling this December day.
Congratulations on the “guess” and thanks for the donation.
