24 Hour Bike Ride for the Jake Sauer Memorial Fund
About a year ago, Morley Tooke organized a group of us to participate in the '24 hours of Summer Solstice' mountain bike event this weekend to "have fun and to honour our late friend Jake".
Five of us will take turns on a 17km course from noon to noon, rain or shine, day and night. Our team includes Morley Tooke, Ray Vanderveen, Brian Young and Gary Klassen.
Anyone who might like to sponsor us is welcome to visit the website below. Donations made to the KWCF from this page will be directed to the Jake Sauer Memorial Fund and will be used to support local cancer research, treatment, prevention and screening.

From Trish Kee
I was Alex's classmate in Waterloo since first year and we graduated with our M.Arch in the same year in 2002. When Jake proposed to Alex in Rome, we as Alex's girlfriends, were so envious of her getting married to such a talented and handsom fellow. During my 2 years of sharing the same studio room with Alex doing our master thesis, Jake would appear in the room once in a while, either to pick up Alex and to have a few casual chat with us. He would always be glowing with energy, adventure and new invention. Back then, the BlackBurry was a novelty, and only the Sauer family knew how to operate them. Who would think that his contribution would reach all parts of the world.
Last week was Jake's 1st anniversary. I wrote to Alex. I feel relieved she wrote back to me with positive energy. A year has gone by, but when I look at the photos in Jake's blog, it was as if he never left.

1st Annual Jake Ride
From the Waterloo Cycling Club:
"On May 3rd, 2008 a group of Jake Sauer's friends are getting together for a ride to remember Jake and kick off an Online auction of Jake's kit and gear to create a post secondary education fund for Jake's kids. More details will follow in short order. For now, the ride will start from and finish at the Flying Dog. The ride will head out to the west on some of Jake's favourite training roads and loop back to the Dog for some post ride beverages and food. Dutch treat. Total ride distance will be around 70km.
"Please note that the ride is not a WCC Club Ride. Anyone, member or not, is welcome to attend. Stay tuned for more details."
Here is a link to further details from the cycling club's website.
