The bikers proceeded to Dade City today from Inverness, Florida.
Tomorrow, they will visit St. Joseph’s Hospital in Tampa, at 11AM. There, they will spend time with children who are undergoing treatment for cancer. They will deliver letters to the children from the students of the Cypress Creek Elementary school, the Wimauma Elementary school and the Ruskin Elementary school, and the Arts Camp children, all of which surround our Sun City Center community. We are truly grateful for all the wonderful and sensitive cards and letters these kids took the time to make for our heroes in the 8 hospitals visited.
The riders will also deliver Sammyrides shirts and medals designating the recipients as our heroes. Visiting children in all of the hospitals, has been an extraordinary experience, and one the riders will never forget. They are what this ride has been all about from the very beginning and we treasure each and every one of the children we've met.
Today, a special couple came all the way from Sun City, Arizona, especially for this weekend celebration. We want to welcome with open arms, Jim and Kay Stark. Kay was instrumental in organizing the send off for us when we began the ride back on March 2nd and we are truly thrilled that they wanted to be here to greet the riders at the finish line....

From St. Joseph’s Hospital, the riders will bike to the Publix parking lot, with Lois once again being where she should be....driving the van right behind them! There will be many residents and others who will be there to ride bikes/golf carts behind them all the way to the United Methodist Church. Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts will also connect with them, riding their bikes right along with everyone else!
Arrival will be around 4PM. The weather appears to be promising as we anticipate their arrival.
