Chilly Hilly '95 is dedicated to David Juarez and Skip Jolley. Both
cyclists were struck by a car during a Cascade Bicycle Club training ride on
October 13th, 1994, allegedly by a hit-and-run drunk driver. David died as a
result of his injuries and is survived by his wife Maria and three children.
Skip Jolley was hospitalized for over five weeks and returned home to his family
just before Thanksgiving. He is still recuperating from his injuries.
We encourage you to make a donation which will be split equally between the
two families. Simply note your donation on the registration form and include
the amount in your check. If you are not registering for the ride but wish to
make a donation, send your check payable to Chilly Hilly, Cascade Bicycle Club,
