#climateride09

I have just completed day 3 of #climateride09, and what an amazing day(on so many levels). Today I rode 67 miles to raise awareness about Climate Change. At 1 point a Red-Tailed Hawk circled above me and just sort of danced in the wind above me, for half a mile. I immediately felt safe and protected for the rest of my journey. As he finally set down on a tree branch, I waved and thanked him for looking over me. The people riding and supporting us are inspiring, the amount of knowledge, passion and collective accomplishments of this group is humbling. I am so honored to be here. Thanks to those of you who have contributed so far and for anyone else who may be ready to help, my fund raising page is open for the next few weeks(http://my.e2rm.com/personalPage.aspx?registrationID=691690). This is an amazing event that will bring the message to Capital Hill that Climate Change needs to be the focus of legislation NOW. I should mention that I would have had to go into debt with the Climate Ride Organization, if it were not for the other riders from the Green America team, especially, Bernard Brennon, who as a top fundraiser, was able to "cover" my balance. Green America networks/connects Eco-conscious companies from across the nation and basically produce a green version of the yellow pages. Go Team Green America!

A man of action

On the road again! I try to be a man of action when it comes to my beliefs, and as you know I beleive in everyones ability to make a difference. I'm about to meet 200 more people like me who choose to ride for change. I just left Boston via bus, and am scheduled to arrive NYC at 4pm. Bike and backpack safely under me. Laptop plugged in, and connecting with my social network . (For less than $20, I'm on a clean comfortable bus with free wifi.) I register for the Climate Ride 09 at the Central Park Zoo at 5:30. Then chill'n with the polar bears till dinner. Probably out eat a few of the bears, then catch my last nights sleep in a bed for the next 5 days. Ride starts at 7am. Roughly 60 miles a day of riding (pun intended- doing this on a single speed Re-Cycles bicycle.) Ride ends in DC, Wednesday, and I meet with Senator Judd Gregg Thursday morning. I want to say Thanks to all my family, supporters and followers. I'll keep the updates coming. Its all downhill from here!(Right?) Peace, Paul

Climate Ride Begins This Weekend...

The riders will convene in
Central Park Saturday Morning, and begin their "conference on wheels" to raise awareness regarding climate change.
See Paul in The Telegraph today!
