I Love The PMC! Amie.

On Thursday February Eleventh, surrounded by family, Amie lost her 11 year battle with ovarian cancer. She was the inspiration for the team and we will continue to ride strong for her and keep her promise to ride the PMC and fight cancer.

As the team continues to grow, we continue to remember all of those who we have lost and to honor those who have and are fighting this terrible disease.

Mettle n.
1. Courage and fortitude; spirit:
2. Inherent quality of character and temperament

A play on the popular cliché, Pedal to the Metal, meaning to give all one can to a task at hand, our team's name Pedal 2 the Mettle, is intended to have a similar, yet deeper meaning. Mettle, meaning courage and fortitude, is the driving force behind our team's identity.

A pervasive trait among all PMC participants, our team exemplifies an inherent strength of character....one that shows that cancer must not create victims. Every rider and every volunteer has been impacted in some way by cancer, and our participation in this ride shows that cancer can and will be beaten!

Please consider sponsoring the team and making 2018 another banner year. Now in our eleventh year as a team we welcome back teammates from years past and welcome new teammates this year, riders and volunteers alike.

Together with 6,000 riders, 3,000 volunteers and untold volumes of critical cheering support, all of us have committed to riding 192 miles, over two days, in any type of weather as well as to raising over $4,900 each! We are committed to this ride because we know that with each mile biked and each dollar raised, we are getting closer to finding new, more effective, better and safer treatments. And, for your part, we want to thank each and every one of you for helping us to reach our emotional, financial and physical goals.

Thank you for visiting our site.

With love,

Team Pedal 2 the Mettle
