I reached $5000 last night! Thanks to everyone who sponsored me. You have all helped me get to an amazing milestone. If you look back in this blog's posts, you will see where I started. I thought $1000 was a lot. Then the donations started coming in and I kept raising the bar. At the start, I would not have dreamed I could raise $5000 but you have all proved me wrong.
I want especially to thank the Kirschner family for their love and support. I know this means a lot to them. It means a lot to me too. I am motivated to ride my ass off on the 23rd.
I spoke to the co-ordinator of the event today. The Lance Armstrong event on Friday has been canceled but, in its place, I have the opportunity to have a more informal breakfast with Lance on Sunday morning before the ride. I like that better. I would not have had that opportunity if I did not reach my $5000 goal.
I was pretty pumped about reaching my fundraising goal so I put that energy into a morning ride today. I scouted the Richmond loop - the 3rd leg of the ride. It's dead flat and longer than I anticipated. I kept a good speed without pain. Things are looking really good on all fronts.
Here are the details of my ride:
Distance: 40.84 km
Time: 1:16:32
Average Speed: 32 km/h
