Finished the MS bicycle ride at 110 miles

I finished the MS bicycle event! I rode 58 miles today and 52 yesterday for a total of 110 miles :) There were 415 bicycle riders there - a new record for this MS event.

Met a lot of wonderful people there and I really enjoyed the whole event. They had everything taken care of wonderfully well. Lots of great volunteers. Good food too.

Saturdaywas interesting - started with LOTS of bicycles and after the second rest stop - I hardly saw anyone. There was a big hill Saturday that I had heard about... But it wasn't so bad - I ride up a similar hill everyday as I commute home from work.

Sunday - got up early today (read that as 5AM - I still don't think the world exists at that time) and got breakfast and got riding by a bit after 6AM. Rode with a friend for about 18miles or so and he went to the left (75 mile course) and I went right (for the 50 mile course). We happened to meet a group at the rest stop a bit before that - very nice folks. They were all going 50 miles too... So I tagged along with them for the rest of the ride - had a great time talking with all of them. Got to the end and said bye - took a shower and got packed up and poof - driving time to get back home - made it home just a little bit ago. Time for a nap.

Almost time for the bicycle event...

Hi!

I've reached the end of training yesterday. Today I'm packing up and getting ready to drive to Standish, Maine for the MS bicycle event. I'm getting very excited - should be a lot of fun - and a good challenge.

So far we've raised $630 (like real money) and it will go up a bit more after the event. Yahoo! Thank you everyone who contributed and are supporting me! I really do appreciate all of your support.

More details once I get there...
