This past Memorial Day, I rode in the Mayor's Bike, Hike, and Paddle and successfully rode 15 miles. While I did have a blowout around the 9 mile mark, the support folks came and changed the tube for me, only to find that the tire had blown out too. Thinking I was done for the day, the other support van came by and I asked if he had a tire. Believe it or not, he had one, and I was able to get it changed out, and I was back on the course so I could finish. Surprisingly, the support people do not charge for the parts and I am extremely grateful for the help. Totally unexpected.
So on to my next challenge. The Bike To Beat Cancer ride supports the Norton's Cancer Institute, and I am riding for the Suburban's Norton's Cancer Institute, where I had my treatment. I have chosen the 65 mile course as a goal to push further towards getting in shape. The ride is on Sept 24th, 2011 at EP Tom Sawyer Park.
As part of the challenge, I have set a goal to raise $500 for this race. You can donate online from my personal page for this very worthwhile cause, but don't feel obligated to donate. Naturally, I would love to reach a higher goal, but anything works for me. :) Please support my ride if you can.
