This from MahaSangha News:

This Friday, September 25,  Joshua Weinstein and his fellow mountain bikers will leave Boulder to begin their gallant  and inspired pilgrimage to the Great Stupa  to raise money for Konchok Foundation and Shambhala Mountain Center.  There will be a brief send off ceremony for them in Joshua’s yard  (2815 7th St. in North Boulder)  at 8:30 AM with Meditation and a Lhasang performed by Surmang Khenpo Tsering.

The route being taken to the Stupa is on mountain paths.  Here is Joshua’s blog entry from yesterday:

Monday September 21st only four days before our departure it is snowing over much of the route. Rollins Pass, the high point at 11,671 ft., may see 6 inches of snow.  We are packing some wool socks and hoping for those classic Rocky Mountain fall days with snow on the peaks and yellow aspen leaves waving up at them.  There are 9 of us riding to Vagabond Ranch and 4 continuing on to the Stupa for an estimated 166.5 miles and 20,800 ft. of ascent and 18,662 ft. of descent.

Please sponsor Joshua and his fellow bikers, and help them to meet their goal of generous donations for Konchok Foundation and Shambhala Mountain center.  (The donations will be divided 50/50)  Go to
