Rodger Fox from Jacksonville, IL organized "Ride for the Relay" to raise money for cancer research. The ride was route 66. It started in Chicago at the Navy pier and ended at the pier in Santa Monica. I don't think he is doing it any longer, Like most of us age got to be a factor. I have done the ride twice and I think we did it in early September. The "Ride for the Relay" website is still up and anyone that wants information could contact Rodger. He has lots of experience on Route 66. The worse weather I ever encountered was a downpour going into Amarillo, TX, other than that we usually had good weather.
