Found a few pics....

I have been trying to put together a little banner or flyer to put on my bike when I ride on Sunday, and I came across a few pictures of my mom that I really like. I thought I would share them!

No more rides before the 14th!

I turned my bike in to the shop for an overhaul last night. This means only one thing, if I can't do this ride by now, there's no chance for additional training. The ol' ride needs some work though, so this will benefit not only the well being of my bike, but me as well. Hopefully when I'm cranking away on the pedals come next Sunday, the chain will not fall off and my gears will not slip. (which has been happening lately) She's a bit dirty too. Part of the ride I did this past Monday was on gravel. That old ranch road in Medina wasn't paved for a few miles and I wish I would had been on a mountain bike with shocks and knobby tires. So, all that said, come next week, I'll get her back with shiny components, a new chain, and a good washin'. Amen....

7 days left!

Well, 7 days until all the money is due, and 10 days before I meet my maker on those hills in central Texas. I was fortunate enough to be able to experience those hills on Sunday and Monday of this week. I got 2 really good rides in this week. I rode out near Bandera and Medina, Texas. The beauty of that area is too much to put in words. Anyway... please please please, if you have made the commitment to donate, its time to do so! Go here to donate, it's much easier to get online and donate then to send in a check!
