April was not only the cruelest month, it was the wetest. I read on our Facebook page that it rained 20 out of the 30 days in April. A lot of that was 40 degree rain. It was cool, well, cold most of the month. I left the straw on my garden bed until the last week of April. The ground was too cold to germinate seeds anyway. I got cold crops from the Garden Resource Program on April 16 but couldn't even harden them off because it was too cold outside.
But time marches on. The May 15 deadline for adding/changing meals and buses is this week. If you sent in your registration and planned to order meals and buses later, it's later now. Download an application and make your choices. Mail it in with a check and a stamped self addressed envelope (for your new confirmation) to the PALM address: PO Box 7161; Ann Arbor, MI 48107. May 15 is also the last day that you can cancel from PALM and get a refund (minus a cancellation fee). It must be done in writing, no emails will be accepted. There will be no refunds or changes after May 15.
Thank goodness it's May. I was only able to ride once in April. The last two weekends I've been able to ride at last. Only 20 miles or so but at least it's a start. And the last time I rode I could sit on the bike seat. PALM is closer to becoming a reality.

What's the deadline for transfering a ride?
There is no deadline for transfering a ride. We need the new rider to sign the waiver and for the old rider to inform us that they are cancelling. Download an application from the website: www.lmb.org/palm/files/PALMApp2011.pdf. Fill out the name and address, sign the waiver, and any permissions that may be needed. You cannot change meals or bus rides. You can request a different t shirt size. Mail the application to the PALM address (PALM, PO Box 7161, Ann Arbor, MI 48107) Any money exchange is between the old and new riders. There is no cancellation fee.
Just so happens that one of my teammates on the RACING GREYHOUNDS recently broke his wrist and will not be able to use his PALM registration. If anyone out there needs, or know of someone who needs, a PALM registration, he is will to sell it. If interested, please contact me through email at: sproketsandspokes@tir.com
