5 days and counting!!

OMG!! I can't wait!  I spent 5 hours today at kohls and dicks searching for clothes to wear during the day.  They recommend clothes that will dry easily as we may be washing these by hand.  If we wash them at all...ha. 

OMG, again!! An anonymous donor gave $81 which puts me at my fundraising goal of $3785!!!!!!!!  Thank you whoever you are!! And thank you to each and everyone of you who have contributed!!  Also thank you to all of you who are going to follow me on this journey of a lifetime!!

So training hasn't been as expected due to all the rain :(  I have been riding as much as I possibly can and finally said to heck with the rain, I am going to just have to ride in it in order to get some saddle time and base miles in.  So yesterday my riding buddy Steve and I decided to go to Bellefontaine to get a good hill workout in.  Well about an hour into the ride it started raining, well I mean POURING......and it poured on us for a good two hours as we bucked headwind, climbed hills and even rode through a closed road due to flooding-water a foot or so deep, squish, squish, squish with each pedal stroke, I poured water out of my shoes at the end of the ride...........but I am sure that it is only going to make me stronger and I am sure that I will have many days that are much more trying than this.  A BIG THANK YOU to Steve!! 

Tuesday evening was my last BikeSource Women's ride until I get back.  THANK YOU to all of the wonderful women who have joined me for this ride in the frigid temperatures and sometime in the extreme heat!!  You are the best and I will MISS riding with you all this June and July!!!  See attached picture from this ride!

I will be updating everyday from now until August unless there is no cell or wi-fi service- STAY TUNED!!
