Back on the Bike

My road bike hadn't been ridden in a while. Between the flat tire, the icy conditions, and my laziness, I let my road bike sit in the corner of my apartment for most of the winter. Its a fairly epic bike corner though...



Anyways, today my roommate George and I went on a quick ride, not more than an hour long. It had been a while since I wore my jersey, my padded shorts, and my clip in shoes. It was a great feeling and I cant wait to start doing more regular riding to get ready for the tour!

First Fundraiser Event!

I talked with the fine people at Moe's Southwest Grill, filled out some paperwork, and they have agreed to help me host a fundraising event at their restaurant.

Anybody who presents my flyer while purchasing food at Moes on Wednesday, February 23, 2011 between 5:00 and 8:00pm will have contributed up to 20% of their order to Bike The US For MS.

My goal is to get at least 200 people to participate. I need 200 people in order to get the full 20%. Here's how it works. If I get 0-99 people, we get 10%. 100-199 people is 15%. 200+ people means 20%.

Here is what the flyer looks like (and a link to the pdf for downloading)
