Jayme's Goodbye

"When you look at a plate of ham and eggs, you think sure the chicken was involved, but the pig was committed." -- unknown

Jayme is didn't want to be an egg, so he became the ham. Alright, the metaphor breaks down there (I assure that the choosing of animals in this metaphor was purely coincidental and was not a shot at Jayme's profession). Jayme took off today. After the impromptu press conference (story here http://www.ktka.com/news/2008/jun/16/officer_rides_nephew/) and a shaky embrace with his wife, he rode into the sunset. He left the Police Station this morning at 11.15 a.m. He was followed by Toby (his brother) in his Ride Support Truck. Here are some of the pictures I took. He does a good job of updating his blog (www.rideforgranton.blogspot.com) so be sure to check that out. You can order this shirt on there and send donations as well.

If you don't know Jayme, he is a bike patrolman with the Topeka Police Department. His nephew has some health issues. So Jayme is riding his bike to Bolivar, Missouri in order to raise money to help with medical expenses.

Just in case you think he is just a soft heart, I assure that his soft heart is surrounded by a lot of big muscles...I saw him tackle a guy once.

Pedal fast Jayme.
