Invitation to MSU Triathlon Club's Farm Daze Bicycle Tour

[Kendall Bubolz]

Hello all,

I wanted to invite all MECTC teams to come to MSU Triathlon Club's Farm Daze Bicycle Tour. It is held on Sunday, September 15th in East Lansing, Michigan, and we host it every year to support our former teammate, Mason Barker, who was hit by a car on a training ride for IronMan Wisconsin. Mason was severely injured in the accident, which was over ten years ago, and all proceeds from Farm Daze go directly to him to help offset some of his ongoing medical bills. His story can be found at this link: https://pktml1.wixsite.com/masonbarkerstory?fbclid=IwAR3-B8YvuM00er-bROltElwykiF8Szn_9BVDsPUR0dwoYH9cYXFnep0u5Rw As triathletes, we're all too familiar with the dangers of cycling on the roads. Farm Daze is a great way to support a fellow triathlete who is paralyzed for life after a typical training ride and to connect with other MECTC members in a non-competitive environment. Please mention this to your clubs and share the link if possible; we would really appreciate it.
