The Capital Ride is only 25 days away... WOW! Where has the time gone? All of my cross-country riding buddies have officially started their trips, and I have to admit, I'm stalking all of them through blogs :) I'm headed up to Harrisburg, PA, tonight to meet up with Providence to California to drop off a bunch of goodies and see Catherine. In a couple weeks, I'll also be crashing Providence to Seattle to see Jeremie and Maine to Santa Barbara to see Casey. I was really excited to see that they would be along my driving route to and from Huntington when I go home for the July 4th weekend. I can't wait to ride with them again when they get back from their trips!
My training is complete, I have one hour of sweat equity left, and I still have $435 to raise before the trip begins. I plan on continuing to ride every other day, if not daily, until the trip begins. I am signed up for a few hours with Habitat for Humanity on June 29 to finish up my sweat equity. I'm currently holding a bake sale for the July 4th weekend. It will mainly be focused at work, but I will also post it to the Facebook page. I also have several people who have told me they will donate, but haven't yet. I guess it's time to remind them! If you haven't donated, and want to, you can do so here. Remember, no donation is too small!
A rough map of the route we will be taking can be found here. These likely are not the correct roads, but this is just a simple Google map to give an idea of the route. You can follow our trip here. This page has the route tracker, blog (if it is kept up on the trip), rider's blogs, pictures, and the list of riders.
Current Stats:
Amount Raised - $2065
Longest Ride ~ 72 miles
Max Speed - 41.6 mph (!!!AWESOME!!!)
