Team Northern Atlantic 2011

This Sunday, March 7th, 2010, Mike and I are setting up an erg out at Gravelly Point Park in Arlington, just North of the Reagan National Airport, to do a 100,000 meter erg piece for charity. That’s right! We each owe the other 50,000 meters of continuous ergging, but we’ll take turns doing 10,000 meter pieces until we hit 100,000 meters. It’ll be great training for an ocean row, and we’re hoping to raise awareness, as well as some money, for our Charity, the Prostate Cancer Foundation in the process.

So take your bike out on the Mt. Vernon Trail to encourage an early arrival of Spring and stop by and say ‘hey’! I’m sure we’ll be the only two people at the end of the airport runway sitting on an erg Bring your family and friends too!

Please also consider giving some spare change to our charity, the Prostate Cancer Foundation. Make a donation on behalf of Team Northern Atlantic 2011 here: http://tinyurl.com/ydk979z.
