About:
"Pedaling For Alfie" is the name of the cross-country bicycle tour that both myself, and Kyle Rogers will be taking come July 25th. We will be leaving from the shore of Belmar, New Jersey and arrive at the coastline of Oregon. Our coast to coast trip is a benefit ride for a good friend of ours, Alfred Orlando (Alfie). A little over a year ago Al was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. Recently, it was found that Al actually has colon cancer. Al is now in stage four of colon cancer. As I mentioned, our ride is to help raise funds for both Al and his family. Al is a father of three children and a husband to his wonderful wife. Al is a former bicycle mechanic at the bike shop that Kyle and I both currently work at, Shrewsbury Bicycles. Seeing that bicycles are the common thread in our lives, we thought it would be best to ride ours in order to help a friend in need. I will be posting more updates, and a link to our paypal account for donations. If you have any questions about our ride, our cause, or whatever else it may be please let me know.

Hi Scott and Kyle,
My heart is touched by your bike-a-thon. I thank you on behalf of myself and my little brother.

Go Scott and Kyle,
i admire the 2 of you. I bet you both are having the time of your lives. I am hoping that this small comment will help you and encourage you to keep pushing on. I wish I had some money to help you but I am completely strapped. I was the one that won the 2 bikes for my daughters and they love them. I can't wait to see more of your blogs.......Katy Snyder
