Edmund's 69 mile (110 km) training ride

Had a beautiful training ride with my tricycle (not loaded) this morning - from Honeoye Falls up to Lake Ontario (Williamson)- perfect temperature (70 deg. C),very little wind and a slight sprinkle of rain near the lake.

The bicycle (tricycle) handled well - the only issues are my brakes (they work - but not very well) - In the next couple of weeks I will have a full tune up done on the bike.

Riding for Robotics

Edmund has decided to use the "Tour around Lake Ontario" as a fundraiser for the Honeoye Falls - Lima / Henrietta FIRST Robotics Team (Team 2228).

The vision for FIRST Robotics is to inspire in young people, their schools and communities, an appreciation of science and technology and an understanding that mastering these can enrich the lives of all.

Students from High Schools around the world design, build and test radio controlled robots that need to accomplish specific tasks that change every year. In doing so, they get exposed to and learn technical skills, problem solving, strategic thinking, project management, team work and much more.

If you are interested in making a tax deductable donation to Team 2228 as part of this fundraiser, please make out a check to the "Mendon Foundation" and write "Team 2228" in the memo field. 100% of the donations will go directly to Team 2228. The check can be mailed to my home address: Edmund Napp, 20 Gravel Hill Lane, Honeoye Falls, NY 14472.

If you choose not to donate to the team, we would still enjoy having you follow our journey around the Lake Ontario by following this blog.

Thanks for your interest !
