[DVBC] Bob Leon

[Ann Martha]

The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society already organizes and trains new cyclists 
for the Seagull Century, and other fabulous century rides.  The local 
trainers are SCU's Edwin Hein and his wife Grace.   Since Bob used to 
organize the "Metric Century Club" and the Cancer Ride is a tad longer than 
a metric, the DVBC can revive Bob's Metric Century Club for the ACS 
Bike-athon.  Unfortunately, the big Lance Armstrong Livestrong Ride wants a 
donation that's mighty hefty for most bicyclists.
