Every day during the Green Bay Packers training camp, there are hundreds of children with their bikes lined up just hoping that one of the players will pick them! Each player rides from Lambeau Field to their practice at Ray Nitschke Field House on a child’s bike. This tradition was started back in the Lombardi years in efforts to have the team be more active in the community and hasn’t stopped since. It seems like it is just as exciting for the players as it is for the kids!

So here’s the deal, I’m 33 years old I think I could get one of the players to ride my bike! I should make it a goal of mine to get to Packers training camp and make it happen. I don’t have any in-person autographs so let’s skip that and just go big or go home!
I need to get to another Packers game in Green Bay!
