Just Days Away

Well it is almost here.  This Saturday will be my first century ride and will be supporting Fatty's efforts in raising money for Livestrong.  There are still some details up in the air but I would love the support of anyone who can find some time in their Saturday to come out.  Today I invited Global Bikes be a part of the day by allowing people to meet at their Gilbert location where I hope to have the ride end.  I will keep you all posted on those details as soon as I hear back from them. 

Yesterday and today I have felt a bit under the weather.  I did not go to spinning today and have not been on the bike in about a week.  I am hoping to kick whatever bug I have today so I can finish preparing for the ride this Saturday.  I plan on starting out Saturday morning at about 4am and plan on finishing about 11am. 

I have ordered my first pair of cycling shoes and they should be here on Thursday.  I have an appointment with Global Bikes to get the pedals installed and the bike fit to me professionally on Friday afternoon. 

I feel that I am ready and very excited to be doing this.  Again if you'd like to come please let me know.  I will post details here as they come available.  If you are interested in riding any portion of the ride with me you can as well.  I proposed to Global Bikes that we organize a final lap or victory lap for anyone who would like to ride - again more details to come.

On another note - my son is taking an interest in my bike.  He loves all the moving parts and the lights.  He and his sister get so excited when I come home after a ride and just want to climb on and play with the bike.  I hope they grow to love cycling as they get older.
