Bicentennial Man

Welcome to the

ZiggyBackRide Bicentennial Celebration!!!

After a long wait, the 202nd post in the history of this historic blog has historically arrived! As you may know, the ZiggyBackRide Centennial was celebrated on the occasion of the 101st post, rather than the 100th, creating the tradition of the ZiggyBackRide hundred equaling 101 (much like a Baker's dozen is 13).

ZiggyBackPride: The Centennial Celebration was just over 20 months ago. Since then, the Ride has made 101 stops and has enjoyed the presence of some 8,800 riders. It has been an historic segment of the history historically presented herein.

In one of the ZBR (ZiggyBackRide) staff's favorite posts, we explored the universe in post #102 ("The Ultimate Insecurity") on February 1, 2006, and we explored less significant questions in posts like the one from Nov. 7, 2006.

We bade fond farewells to friends on Aug. 14, 2007 and Sept. 4, 2006, and we saw (parts of) the world on June 25th and July 3rd of 2007.

We suffered (May 18, 2006 and March 20th and May 17th of 2007) and we healed (June 13, 2006).

Greek was learned, comedy titles were earned.

BrickBreaker and Jewish men's league basketball were played

While hopes for basketball and baseball championships did fade.

Teen basketball and flag football got coached,

and one post, reprinted word for word, was totally poached.

We confronted superstitions on March 25th and October 22nd of 2006, and great tv and movie moments were relived on June 26th, July 28th, and August 22nd of this year. We celebrated America on July 4, 2006.

So much has happened. Look back. Read and enjoy. And don't ever forget where we have been together, for as it is said, "Those who forget the past are doomed to not know what the ZiggyBackRide is talking about when it repeats itself."

Now, we look forward to incredible things to come as we enjoy some historic scenes from the beginning of our history, our founding, 202 posts ago...
