Mike and Lorenzo hangs out one last time in a MS bike tour

Here is one of the coolest photo. Big Mike and Lorenzo at the start in Sandy Hook, NJ. May of 1999. It would be the last time we ever ride as together in the bike tour.

Here is Mike in the rain on the bridge of route 37 west. Heading towards Toms River. One lane of the bridge is closed off. So bikers can cross the bridge. Photo was taken on the first day of the MS-170 mile bike tour of May 2000.

Mike showing off the amount at WBHS studio

Big Mike is the editor for WBHS-34. Showing off a poster sign that says,"Big Mike Dowd" #18 Belleville, NJ raised $2,240.00 for the Multiple Sclerosis Society." But as of July 2000. Mike raised a final total of $2,390.00 for the Mid-Jersey Chapter. The poster was made to be shown on WNBC-4 on the bike tour. Which Mike was interviewed in Belmar, NJ rest stop in the rain.

Could not find anyone to get a picture of me with the sign. So here is my awesome Cannondale T-700 bike on route 539 on the first day of the MS 170 mile bike tour. Only a few short miles from the finish in May 2000. It is showery out also. Did I mention the end for the first day was in Tuckerton.

Here is Scott W. handing Big Mike a big fat check for the May 2000 MS bike tour at the Belleville Fire Department Headquarters. A pledge from the FMBA.
