My current endeavor is to get 60 people to each donate $20, currently I have 59 more to go, so please, if you read this goto www.bikeandbuild.org/rider/5565 and donate $20! Anyone who does will be getting a postcard or present from me while I am on the road!
You could pack your lunch for a few days, walk/ride instead of driving to work, sell a game you don't play, or collect some change around your house. It is all for a good cause, and I would really appreciate it!
And now, onto the rides.
I did a reverse Shunpike/Bayberry loop on April Fools Day just to shake out the bugs for the rest of the week.
I also kept it short so that I wouldn't burn myself out before Monday, I had my dad drive me upto the house of a co-worker of his so that we could do a long, easy 15mph paced ride up there with the plan of riding home.. We ended up doing just around 57 miles up to Wharton State Forest before getting back to his house where I rested for a little bit. Then it was off on the 35 mile ride home.
All said and done, I arrived home after 94 miles and 5 hours and 47 minutes. On the way home I tried to pick up the pace a bit, but I started bonking about halfway through and sucked down the little bit of food I had with me, Luckily right before the turn onto my road I saw someone else turn down. It turned out to be Steve, so he kept me going for the last 4 miles until we hit my house.
That was a great day, I haven't done distance like that since September!
However, I bonked pretty hard and my legs were toast, so I skipped the Tuesday night ride and instead on Wednesday, after I shot an assignment over at the Technical High School, I took a 15 mile ride into Stone Harbor and back, fighting the wind most of the time..
After the ride, I hustled upto the rest stop on the parkway to meet someone who was interested in buying my Trek, which is now sold. That is a big load off my shoulders.
And thats all there is.
