Tomorrow is the day, the first day of the ride I have been training for, my 175 mile ride for Leukemia. Tomorrow is 100 miles, sunday another 75 miles. I think I have done my training pretty well, only thing is we have an 80% chance of rain, and I believe its heavy rain, that could suck. This past wed I went down to Madison to one of if not the top bike shop in the midwest and had them do a new fitting on my bike, which resulted in some huge changes. I hope this was a wise move, I have been getting some pretty serious back aches at about 80 miles, so something was off. Unfortunately with all our rain lately I havent had a chance to put any miles on it since the changes. This could make for an interesting first 100 miles, or it could be the fastest and most comfortable 100 I do, which is what they say it will be.

I will be sure to let you guys know how it goes, and again, for those of you that helped me with my goal to raise $1000, I cant thank you enough. I did meet my goal (even though online doesnt show it), and each of you were very important in that. When the whether turns to crap tomorrow, I will grab the bars, lock onto the pedals and be grateful to each of you for giving, and get it done for each of you. So thanks again.
