    I missed this last week. Can I still join?

    I'm a mountain biker and have been out of it a while. I rode 10 miles twice last week, so I'd like to try for 10 miles 3 times.

    Thanks for the thread!!

    I am going to pledge 100 again and see what happens. Last week was one less work day, so I had one more recreational day than normal. I should still be able to swing it though (famous last words).

    My work hours stink! And I wish I could ride to work but I have an hour commute. I need to figure out how to get more ride time in.

    What a day for the tour...

    dlester, your homeboy Tyler is not local anymore, he's global superstar now. VS had a big feature on him today and he seems like the real deal. I am fan already... go Tyler!

    What a breakaway too, that's very rare to see. I love seeing my hero George Hincapie pulling the train too, what a domestique. We'll see some real action tomorrow! It's been several years since the team time trial and it's amazing to watch the precision, and no time limits!

    Great job everyone last week, and special thanks to Spyguy for running the metrics. :drinker: :drinker:

    First, I have no idea how to post pics in the blog. Second, I posted pics in my profile of my night ride last week and a few of my bikes.

    Now before you get all judgmental about the bikes... they don't add up to even one Harley... and I prefer spandex... HA :laugh: :laugh: I always joke with the Harley guys in my office that real men wear spandex, it's a hoot!! But, they never convert :noway: :noway:

    On to semaine deux

    I'm still cracking up at our size difference. I looked at your pictures and decided I could not even get a run and jump to get up on your bike. :laugh: :laugh:

    Lynn, that does look like fun. I've been to the Columbus area quite a bit and it seems cycling is very active in the area. Should be a great turnout.

    A. I am not brave enough to do it, because I am a beginner and have never done anything like it.
    B. I don't know if I could raise the money involved. 1000 for the 25 mile ride and you have to finish paying what you don't raise...Even though it is for a great cause. It's my birthday weekend. It would be such an amazing thing for me to attempt..my mother is a cancer survivor, as well as my grandmother, and my uncle plus, justs lost a favorite cousin to cancer just a few weeks ago.

    Well then.. hang on tight!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    1000 bucks... yikes. It's a great cause and sorry to hear about the streak in your family too. My good friend at work was just diagnosed with Luekemia, and she's only 44, now is predicted to live 10 years. It is so amazing to see how quickly the technology is evolving and the increased fundraising from so many good causes.
