yea, you don\'t get into biking for the fashion. I love the fact that dave got the team sobe jersey though.

long way between 61 miles in 4.5 hours (real time, counting stopping to cross streets, etc) and 270 in 3 days.

for this ride, we actually have until october to reach our fundraising goals.

NOTE: the previous statement does not suggest that anyone on the fence about sponsoring us should actually wait until october to do so. thank you. ;)

road to work today. 18 miles each way. the yoga class on my lunch break was a little harsh, probably should have gotten something rather than just the 2 apples I ate all day but man can that bike fly! :drool:

now just being a dork, but I average 36mpg in my car and have a 32 mile commute round trip to work, which means it\'s just under 2 gallons a day I\'m NOT using by biking in, or currently, <$6 a day back in my pocket not to mention zero green house emissions. :biggrin:

now multiply that by 5 days a week for the next 3 or 4 months...

I hear ya on the cost savings and exercise benefits.  I biked to work this morning and noticed a deflated tire with a nail in it the second I arrived.  Instead of getting pissed, I realized that the $5 for a new tube is a small price to pay for what is normally a free ride.

Hope you have a safe route!
