The Ride: Update 1 - Fundraising Milestone and Training Day

Well I'm feeling pretty excited at this very moment. I just received my 7th donation for the ride and hit the $100 mark! Not bad for a week in I say :)

I have even gone as far as to get myself a trainer for the gym. Setting Wednesday nights aside for an ass kicking, and hopefully prepping myself properly physically for this crazy journey!

I'm about to go for a short run tonight, thought it might be a neat way to see some Halloween decorations in all their glory before they're taken down for another year.

And I'm looking for ideas or suggestions on how to fundraise for my ride, besides pestering you fine folk online :) Feel free to send me anything you think I could use, I need all the help I can get!

I've got butterflies just thinking about this ride, these coming months are going to be crazy! Thanks for stopping by.

This of course is my mountain bike, "The Ride" will
feature a slightly more streamlined setup ;)

2014 Ride to Conquer Cancer

I have not wrote on this site in some time.  Even logging back in the format is completely different, I'm just typing in the box and assuming this will post just the way it always did haha.

This is also going to be completely different then what I was writing before as I am planning to chronicle my time from now until June 14-15, 2014, when I ride in the BC Ride to Conquer Cancer!

I am extremely excited for this opportunity.  There are many reasons for sure, but right now I'm just riding the wave of enthusiasm that seems to grab us when we find a new adventure.

The many stories that I will encounter over the coming months are something I look forward to. I've never done anything like this, and cancer is a subject that everyone is impacted by.  So I think this will be a much more emotional journey than I am anticipating even.

My head is all over the place at the moment, there is much more I could touch on, but I think I'm going to leave it at this and not get too scatterbrained.

This is going to be a fun ride.
