The Conga Ride started when a gal bought a bike about 5000 miles from her home. All she wanted to do was have friends join her on the ride home. Everyone had such a blast they wanted to do it again the following year. Interestingly enough, her husband wanted to buy a bike from the same folks and she rode it home for him, with the qualifier that they would ride with purpose and raise money to fight breast cancer. She bought a pink leather vest and off they went. They raised 12K.
In 2010, we had our first "meet in the middle" ride in Cheyenne which was a huge success and all those folks who only got to ride a short time along the "homeward route" were able to meet each other. Survivors were able to share their story and celebrate by riding the Ride. We raised over 36K. Along the way, our Conga Queen found some folks in Shell, WY who were good to her, the cause, and supported the Conga by holding their own fundraiser. Therefore, in 2011, we are meeting in Shell for the big meet-up and celebration.Yea Shell!
