New bike and a 50 mile ride!

So I got my bike and it's awesome! So light! It's really different from my mountain bike. Everything is different!

I put almost 1,400 miles on my mt. bike before I got my new one, so I was very comfortable with it.

Today I did a 50 miler with a bunch of guys from the LBS. Which is about twice what I'd done before. It was flat land but still was great! That was the first time I rode with a pack. I usually ride solo. I'm getting more comfortable with my new ride and used to clipping in. Almost fell once or twice but I caught myself.

I've raised about 75% of the total! Thank you all who have donated! It is very much appreciated. I have a second round of mailing almost ready. You can still donate!

I still haven't done anything for the sweat equity. Shame on me. 50+ days until I leave. I need to do it soon!

That is what I'll do in the next couple of days. Mail off those letters and get something lined up with habitat.

Later!

50%!

I've just reached the 50% mark in donations! Thank you all so much!
There is not much time left and if you'd still like to donate, please do asap.

I also sent my medical forms in so that was the last thing that needed to be checked off.

Now that that is out of the way I can focus on doing at least 8 hours of
affordable housing work, finish raising money, train and get all the
needed equipment/supplies.

I've checked with my local Habitat but they don't have any projects right now. I need to figure that out soon! Also I should be getting my bike on Monday. After themix up it should be all good and I can really train!

I'm itching to ride more than 23 miles at one time. The days are getting
warmer and is a beautiful thing! Some very nice days this past week.

Until next time, RIDE HARD!
