Dan Writes, The Dowager Countess Responds

The Dowager Countess has directed your faithful scrivener to respond to Dan Shadoan's email today.

Dan writes,

Choose your mileage goal and challenge yourself to ride your bike more than you thought possible from March1-31st.

The Dowager responds:

"Good heavens! I should think that any distance ridden on those crazy wheeled contraptions is far too much! What is the problem with people these days? Why, in my age, we would have been content to set the footmen running hither and yon through the garden and watching them. Why must everyone seek to perspire so much?"

Dan writes,

All proceeds from the challenge is used to buy bicycle helmets for kids.


The Dowager responds:

"So this is a fundraiser? Please don't tell my son, or he'll have some crazy idea again about opening the Abbey to the hoi polloi to walk through and gawk at us like monkeys in a cage!!!"

Needless to say, the Dowager is quite doubtful about March Madness. However, she has committed to helping spread the word about MM and the Photographic Contest, and, with a great sense of noblesse oblige, she will soldier on.
