BOB, Ride for Hope Pedal Partnering to Beat Cancer - Apr 27, 2012 - 11:30:11 AM
Nassau, Bahamas - Jeffrey
Burnside didn't even break a sweat. He had just ridden 100 miles, biking
up hills and down valleys, around bends, rolling past others
participating in Ride for Hope, passing them with a smile and a wave as

whose long history with biking takes him all the way from the 1970
Commonwealth Games in England to the 1972 Olympics in Munich where he
made it to the quarter finals in the 1,000-meter sprint to this day in
Eleuthera where he, like nearly 600 others, were pedaling for a cause --
to raise funds for the fight against cancer...
