Biking is Happening!

So the update I promised as I progress:
10.6 miles 7/11
12.4 miles 7/14
8.20 miles 7/19
16.1 miles 7/21
19.8 miles 7/24
23.2 miles 7/30....totals about 90 mile so far. If I hit my training schedule, I will have ridden 1,142.4 miles by 10-18.

Whew....it is so easy to want to NOT ride; but at mile 8 or 9, the adrenalin kicks in and I have to make sure I don't over-do it.

Still targeting a 57 mile ride on 10-22-08.

I've thought about turning it into a charity ride (a one person event-me-that is). Would anyone be willing to contribute to a favorite missions group of mine, POSSIBILITIES AFRICA? email me at: danp301@pacbell.net if you would be willing to pledge $1 per mile, or any amount per mile or a flat rate. (Check will be made out to Possibilities Africa, and will be 100% deductible). No pressure, just puts purpose into this challenge other than just riding my age on 10-22.

would love to hear your thoughts. if you know anyone that might be interested, please pass my blog site on to them!
