Team Agony of Da Seat rides again on July 21-22 to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. You don't have to be a hard core cyclist to join the team and enjoy the 150-mile ride along Lake Michigan from Mequon to Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. For more details go to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Registration site (click Register on the menu at top of page) or contact team coordinator Jeff Makulec.

Tax-deductible registration fee is $85 through May 18, after which it increases to $125. All riders must raise at least $300, which Jeff assures us is pretty easy to do. New this year is an option to ride just the second day for those who can't fit in a two-day ride. And returning this year is the Virtual Rider (free registration) for those who promise to raise at least $300 but aren't inclined to do their own pedaling.
