2011 Ride

The 2nd Annual Colin Mackay Mad Scot Trail Ride 

October 9, 2011


Thank you to all the riders and supporters of the 2nd Annual Colin Mackay Mad Scot Trail Ride!

The 2011 ride was a wonderful success - we nearly tripled our ridership and we surpassed our fundraising efforts over 2010!  The weather on the day of the ride was absolutely perfect.  There wasn't a cloud in the sky and the crisp October day topped out near 80 degrees.  And to top it all off, Jim Thorpe's Fall Foliage Festival provided just the right festive backdrop, with live music, food and fun for all.  It was a great time for everyone!

What better way than to spend a great day with friends to support a vital cause like Nephcure.  Nephcure works to find a cure for FSGS and Nephrotic Syndrome, two devastating types of kidney disease.



TOTAL RAISED: $1,375

As always, in honor of Colin and his home country, we always start the ride with a wee dram o' whisky.

What's a Mad Scot ride without a guy in a kilt, right?
