Big News

Just before leaving work today, I received an email from the Tour of Courage organizers. They have decided to allow the first 200 riders who raise $5000 two tickets to an evening talk with Lance Armstrong. This is incredible news and will really motivate me to exceed my current goal of $2000. For those who haven't donated yet but have meant to, please make your donation sooner rather than later.

I rode into work today taking the same route as on July 27 (see that date's blog post for details) except that I went two laps around Stanley Park instead of one. It was such a nice morning for a ride. About 16 degrees Celcius and sunny. The details:

Distance: 30.78 km
Time: 1:01:34
Average Speed: 30.0 km/h


And, I rode home doing my fastest ride for the distance:

Distance: 8.67 km
Time: 18:12
Average Speed: 28.6 km/h
