Hello everyone
I have set a date for the bowling fundraiser night for the Caleb Zarzecki Memorial Scholarship Fund. Camelot Bowl, April 10th, 6:30. We will be looking to fill groups of two lanes with 10 people. If you are interested in getting nine of your friends and or family together and securing two lanes, e-mail me ASAP. tking1@kahoks.org
I think we are going to have 16 lanes total. Please feel free to pass on this information to anyone who might be interested. You may also contact me at any time on my school e-mail if you have any questions or comments. Take care and I will talk to you all again soon. Tom K.

February Information Post
Hello big ride fans
Well it's the first of February already, wow!!! I have some information about the bowling fund raiser for the Caleb Zarzecki Memorial Scholarship Fund and the bike ride to Washington D.C.
We will be having a bowling fund raiser during the month of March. We will probably have it at Camelot Bowl in Collinsville. I would like to pre-sell tickets again this year. My hope is to find 10 people who will get 9 of their friends together for a fun night of bowling. Are you interested? Are you willing to be one of those people who will get 9 friends and or family members to bowl? Please e-mail me if you want to help. tking1@kahoks.org I will have more information soon.
I will be riding my bike to Washington D.C. this summer as planned. I am still looking at departure days but I am pretty sure it's going to be during the week of June 6th. I think it's about 900 miles so this should be alot easier compared to last summers journey. I hope that everyone will be supporting me again in this amazing adventure? I will be making more post now that my 7th grade basketball season is over. ( We finished 18-3, tied for the conference championship)
I will be back in a week or so with more news. Take care and have a great day!!!! Tom K

Happy New Year
Happy New Year to everyone!!!!!! I hope that anyone who reads this had a wonderful Holiday Season too. I spent a lot of time at home with my family just hanging out. As much as I enjoyed it, I was ready to get back to work. The way I look at it is this, the sooner we get back the sooner we get to summer. I am looking forward to summer already. I can't stand the cold!!!! I have another 3 weeks of 7th grade basketball then I will start to focus on this summers adventure to Washington D.C. My goal is to have some information put together by the beginning of February about the bowling fund raiser and my chosen path to D.C. Thanks for keeping up with the blog if your still reading???? A special hello to Jen Smith!!! You are a big inspiration, thanks!!!!!!!!!! I will post again in February, until then, c ya!! Tommy K.

7th grade boys basketball
My team won another tournament. This time it was at Gillespie. We lost a couple of close games and our record now stands at 11-2. The kids are a blast to be around and seem to having a good time.
December post
Hello
Hard to believe another month has zipped by. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We had turkey dinner at our house with Jens parents. I am very thankful that my wife is such a wonderful cook!!!!! I've already put all the weight back on that I had lost on my ride last summer. Oh, well that's part of being busy. I have been thinking about my route. I think I'll go more south across than north. So I plan on going through parts of Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia, and Virginia before arriving in Washington D.C. The trip is about 900 miles. I'm thinking I can ride it in 14 days? Compared to last summer, this is going to be easier so I want to challenge myself with more daily miles. As soon as I mave more details about my route I will post them.
I also plan on having another bowling fundraisier for the Caleb Zarzecki Scholarship Fund. I will be looking at February or March and I will be posting information about that as soon as I get it all planned out. Not a day goes by that I don't think about Caleb. I'll bet there are a lot of other people out there who feel the same way! Take care everyone and enjoy everyday!! TK

November Post
Hello everyone!!!
Sorry I'm a day late but I have been very busy with 7th grade basketball. We were fortunate enough to win our CMS tournament this past weekend. We beat Wirth Cahokia 34-25 in the championship game. I am going to post a picture of the boys because I am extremely proud of them!!! Way to go Trailblazers!!!!!
I am still planning on going to D.C. this summer!! My plans have not been made yet, but I will pass on any information as soon as I get things figured out. I am still planning on having a bowling fund raiser some time in February for the Caleb Zarzecki Scholarship Fund. We are still taking donations. Just go by a First Collinsville Bank and ask to make a donation to the fund. Anything you donate will be greatly appreciated!!!!!!! The fine people from the Collinsville Herald have contacted me about doing another article?? So keep an eye out for that in the next week or so. Thanks for all of your support, it means a lot to me, the Zarzecki family, and anyone else who was touched by Caleb's life. We all still love him and miss him!!!!! Thanks friends,
Tom King

October 1st Hello everyone!!!
Hello bigride fans
I hope all is well with everyone? Things are moving fast for me. My son Lucas ( 12) is playing football for the Troy Titans. He has flicked a switch this year and really developed into a good football player. Kellen ( 7 ) is staying busy too. 7th grade basketball tryouts are Friday and Saturday this week. I hate this time of year because I have to cut kids. But I am also excited about getting a new season started. I will be very busy the next 3 -4 months but I will be posting information still at the beginning of each month. I still plan on doing another bowling night and I think Robin Zarzecki and I are going to put another fund raising evening together? So stay tuned, I will let you know more soon.
I am looking for some input. The ride this summer will be from St.Louis to Washington DC. Does anyone have any experience with the best way to get there by bicycle? I know it's going to be more populated going east so I'm just looking for some advice before I start the planning process. Ask around and if you have some good information, let me know at tking1@kahoks.org
Thanks! Take care, have a great day, and get out and exercise!!!!! Cya. Tommy K
