40th Agony - A COMMEMORATIVE START

9/29/2022

Comments

     To kick off the 40th anniversary ride, three of the original six Agony riders from 1982 led the pack: John Yates (on the recumbent), Bob Walsh (on the tandem with his wife Julie), and Mike Boon (far left), the only rider to have ridden in all 40 Agony Rides.
Picture
​     Following them were two other riders who rode in the early years on the original route from Death Valley to Mt. Whitney: Caryn Galeckas, who has been at every single ride, and long-time staff member Marion Parker on a recumbent (pictured above with long-time rider Bill McQuerry), who came to the Ranch in 1976.

     Next was long-time Executive Director Mike Petrillo, who came to the Ranch in 1978, accompanied by current Executive Director Nate Boyd, 2nd highest fundraiser (pictured above with rider Tom Blackburn, 3rd highest fundraiser).
