The final tally is in. Earlier this week, Rock to Rock Earth Day Ride 2013 organizers announced the final statistics for this year’s event, the 5th annual ride.
The fundraising goal was $150,000.
The 1,100 riders in Rock to Rock 2013 recruited 2,388 donors, who contributed more than $152,000 — surpassing the fundraising goal by over $2,000!
FYI, on April 20, Rock to Rock participants collectively biked more than 16,000 miles (over halfway around the globe) for the benefit of 23 different environmental organizations in New Haven!
Chris Randall, who took the photos of these two happy riders, was out and about documenting the day’s events.

And, save the date of April 26, 2014 for next year’s ride!
Why Saturday Short Subjects? Some readers may recall being dropped at the movie theater for the Saturday matinee — two action-packed feature films with a series of short subjects (cartoons or short movies, sometimes a serial cliffhanger) sandwiched in between. Often the short subjects were the most memorable, and enjoyable, part of the morning. That explains the name. The reason behind these particular posts is that we are all short on time. My Short Subject posts should not take me as long to write or you as long to read (or try).
Great pictures! Happy faces! Congratulations on a job well done! This is great news for our environment.
