I've passed my goal thanks to all of you!

I had a goal of $400 and as of today am at $560 with one more donation pending! THANK YOU so much everyone who donated. This means so much for the MS foundation. I think it's down to 32 days until the ride. I'm going to kick training into that extra gear. I'll be posting right up to and try to during the ride. Make sure to check back even after the race as I'll post about it and any pics/video i take.

Please take some time to leave a comment thanking those who helped me surpass my goal!

22 miles in 1hr 2min

was a good ride from the house toward alvin, tx. 22 miles mainly on 528. was pretty smooth until getting back onto 518. and there is the headwind. but i was motivated to catch up with someone else that was going the same way.

another great sat ride

thanks to the SHELL TEAM for hosting a great ride. I only did the 45 mile route. Time of 2 hrs and 56 min. But NO STOPS!!!!!!! that subway after never tasted so good. feet hurt more than anything. guess that's a good sign that I'm adjusting to this riding thing.

New Tape

First time re-taping the handlebars. did a good. job. didn't run out of tape or have a lot extra. and yellow looks so good. the hard part was figuring out which way to wrap starting then switching for the top.

Filling in with some pics



My bike. 06 Felt Srd 92. on the cheap trainer and front tire block. Just picked up the 2nd water bottle holder couple weeks ago and mr. awsome Terry hooked me up with 2 nicer water bottles. And then the actual TEAM SHELL jersey. Turned out very good on the gradients.
