I did ride and meet my goal.

Right after I signed up to do this ride, my mother passed away. Most of September was spent doing everything but riding. Received my new bike August 26. Mom unexpectedly passed Aug 30. First ride was September 3 for 11 miles. Second ride of 16 miles on 21 September. Third ride of 6 miles on 22 September. 4th ride of 13 miles on 24 September. Fifth ride of 4 miles done 28 September, and sixth ride of 2 miles done on 29 September. Looking forward to trying this again.
