Bully Bash--Contribute to One of Our Charitable Partners


The Chicago English Bulldog Rescue (CEBR) is holding its annual fundraiser this Sunday in Oswego, which is only a short drive from Chicago. We would love it if members of the cycling community would attend Bully Bash or contribute to this charity.

CEBR has made multiple efforts to purchase and remove large numbers of female bulldogs from puppy mills this year. It has been an expensive campaign because almost all of the dogs needed considerable care once they were free. Some of the girls had never seen grass, stairs, or been outside.

Bully Bash is appropriate for families, first dates, or even a romantic afternoon with your long-time partner. Nothing is more endearing than two hundred English Bullies competing in tests of agility and fashion. They may not be speedy or quiet, but bulldogs are very skilled at wearing costumes and making people smile.

Ryan Impresses at National Championships

Josh Ryan earned a top-ten finish at the U.S. National Track Championships in Los Angeles yesterday. Ryan rode the one kilometer time trial--arguably the most painful of all velodrome events--at a speed quick enough to gain a ninth place finish against america's track elite, including multiple world champion Taylor Phinney.

Update.
Josh continued his success at Nationals with a second top-ten finish (9th) in the men's Keirin final and finished an impressive fifth in the team sprint.
