St. Petersburg Times photographer Carrie Pratt recently completed the two-day, 200-mile Ride Without Limits to benefit cerebral palsy. During the ride, she and her husband Hank from Florida Bicycle Sports employee, began chatting with another rider. Turns out it was Stephen Madden, the editor of Bicycling magazine. He called it the "best-run, most rider-friendly charity event I've ever participated in."

The best part wasn't even the great times had by all the participants, it was the $125,000 raised to fight cerebral palsy. To read more of what Madden had to say, click on the thumbnail above or check out the current issue of Bicycling.

I rode in the event as well last year and enjoyed every mile of the ride. I am looking forward to the ride on November 8th & 9th this year.

I have started riding every Saturday with a rider I met last year and have lost 30 lbs since the event. The event can be life changing if you want it to be.
