MapMyRide.com - General Road Cycling: Crystal Ride on 06/13/2010

I'm sitting in an apartment in Camp Hill, PA with my Mom, Dad, and two sisters. Tomorrow morning I'll head across the Susquehanna River to participate in the Tour De Belt, a 20 mile trip around the capital of Pennsylvania. A year ago I wouldn't have believed it if you told me I was going to do this. It's only 20 miles! Ha! I now know I can do 65 miles, a metric century as it's called in the cycling world.

Lately I've been hearing about more and more people being diagnosed with cancer. While my dear sister is cancer free, thank God, the fight goes on.

I'm blogging, I'm blogging, I'm blogging, I'm blogging.

Blogging from my phone. Since

Blogging from my phone. Since the end button is right next to the space button you may never see this. I rode 10 miles this morning.

I was planning on going out for about 20 miles this morning but it's starting to rain and I'm too wimpy lately to subject myself to such torture.

Today is April 24. That means it's exactly 6 months until the Austin Challenge. I need to start cracking so I can unfat myself as much as possible before the big day. My goal? Let's be honest: To look the part of a cyclist as much as I can.

Remember Me?

I've fallen off the wagon, time to get back on. Only 7 months left to train for the Austin Challenge and lose 80 pounds in the process. Who's with me?
