The Redmond Cycling Club's annual "Ride Around Mount Rainier in One Day" (RAMROD) continues its support of Mount Rainier National Park as their charity beneficiary in 2009. "We're proud to partner with Washington's National Park Fund to support important work in the park," said RAMROD director, George Thornton.  "This year's ride on July 30th will be a huge success."

And it was:  personal contributions from riders of RAMROD 2009 will total $20,000.  During 2008, more than $16,000 was contributed by the Cycling Club and RAMROD participants.  Thank you for your support of Mount Rainier National Park!

RAMROD Director George Thornton prepares to present a $15,660 check representing personal contributions from the 2009 riders.
