Training

Well I was very happy to complete mile 2000 for my training program last weekend.  All that riding in the cold rain last winter has paid off!  With this milestone done, I can now further add to my fitness and feel fairly confident for this Big Ride.  I hope to get another 500mi in before the trip, while working on climbing and elevation.
The reality of it all is starting to sink in.  We leave in less than a month and I still need to train, fundraise, and add a few things to my needed equipment.  The challenge is to keep focused on these things daily so it all doesn't sneak up on me as we approach our departure date.  But all in all I am so very excited and honored to be part of this ride.  I am looking forward to meeting all the riders and support people face to face (we have been talking for the past few months on the phone), and finally getting underway.
