I am going to engage in a venture that will take me via bicycle from San Diego, CA to Vancouver, BC (see map). This 1400 mile journey will bring me up the West Coast, through the Pacific Northwest and into Canada. The event is to raise funds for animals in need of emergency or ongoing veterinary care. I ask for your support to achieve this most important goal. Your generous tax-deductible donations will go directly to a separate fund, used strictly for veterinary care for the animals chosen. To make a donation, or find out more about my "RIDE FOR LIFE" visit the San Diego Animal Support Foundation.

Sincerely, Elliot Rover

Update from Elliot on the road....

I arrived in San Francisco on Sat afternoon. I have been here a few days now. Unfortunately, some of the difficulties that I have dealt with since cycling through Santa Barbara have not alleviated.

It is probably in my best interest to stop at this time as time/finances are becoming a serious limitation.

I sincerely would love to continue, but I must get back to San Diego. I hope you and the rest of the donators to the Ride 4 Life fund are not very disappointed. I will contact everyone sometime this week to fill you in.

Thanks again for the time and effort for this charity/event.

Sincerely, Elliot

Elliot Checking In

Just checking in and letting you know that the ride is going fairly well. I should be in the San Francisco area by the weekend. There has been some difficulties that I hope will alleviate. Overall, the ride is hard and unbelievable at the same time. Seeing the coast like this is beautiful. Will contact you toward the end of the week for an update.
Be Good,
Elliot

Update from Elliot on Tuesday, September 2

Elliot hit Orange County last night after taking off from his La Mesa home at 5 a.m. Today, at 3:45 p.m., Elliot called in to say that he hopes to hit Huntington Beach by tonight, and bike through Malabu and Los Angeles tomorrow. (He's riding along the coast...if you see him, stop to say hello!)
The hills are a LOT harder than he thought they would be. The ride is taking it's toll. He said that his goal of 75-miles per day may be a little too much...he's rethinking the goal....more like 50-miles per day.
He got a call from Stephanie, Kitters the Cat's mom, thanking him for riding and raising money for her cat. I think that made him feel good.
If you want to post your comments, or call Elliot on his cell to leave messages of encouragement, please do....he would probably enjoy hearing from everyone.
Thank you Elliot! Good luck on your ride and Dog Bless!
