Yesterday I rode my bike in a parade for the Shriners, to which I am a member. We raise money for the Shriners hospital that treats sick kids.
So I was doing double duty for the kids and riding under both campaigns!
My back has been pretty bad lately but I will get these miles finished!
From Lower Armstrong trail
Today was a nice treat!
It started off with some misting leftover rain but it cleared and made for a nice day.
What made it even nicer was to have one of my sponsors and friend come join me for the ride!
Owen of Owen and Jen, who faithfully donate every year, rode the 20 miles with me today. Maybe this weekend I can convince him to do 50 miles!
Well it's been a solid week of rain or rain predictions.
After last year's broken ribs incident I just can't take the chance of taking another major spill.
GCC has extended the time frame again to allow us old folks to finish.
I have plans to go out tomorrow and grab some miles. I will hopefully finish this weekend!
Thanks again for all of your support, not only for the kids, but for me as well.
I just hit $5,000 to fight kids' cancer! Thank you so much for your support.
Today started off with predictions of bad storms.
I thought I wouldn't get my ride in! It turned out that I danced all around those raindrops! They tried to ruin my trip, but they failed!
Now I did have a run in with a bench in Freeport that was wet with paint. Mind you, no sign was on the bench, I saw no one out painting and there was no signs of work nearby. Yet I noticed after I got back on my bike, that I had paint on my calves! I checked and found my new bike shorts, bike seat and the superhero shirt (that I earned with all of your donations), all covered in paint!!
Even that doesn't ruin how I feel about this adventure that I'm on.
Today's picture is a salute to all of my Brothers. This fine group of men do a lot of good for a lot of people and proud to be a Brother to each of them.
The doppler radar showed me riding directly in to a storm this morning. Luckily that did not happen.
It was a little muddy because of the storm that I barely missed but I "muddled" through.
I stopped for lunch at Fox's Pizza in Kittaning and managed to put 40 miles on the Ole Silver Bullet.
The highlight of the day today was coming across what looked like a bear cave! Good thing my legs are strong and my Ole Silver Bullet is quick and in good shape, just in case.. ya know?! ;)
