Got another 5(ish) miles in today. Still sore from yesterday's community free fair activities, but I couldn't let the cool breeze of this evening go with celebrating with at least a ride of some sort - and it was worth it. Saw the neighborhood doe / fawn pair, along with the smells of fireplaces beginning to wake up for the fall season.
Gonna have to throttle things up a bit to beat my distance goal.
After work and mowing the yard, I was able to sneak in a 7.4-mile ride. I know this may not sound like much to many, but I'm not in the best of shape. But hey, I'll be alot better off after this challenge, and considering I haven't rode much since getting my license many years ago, I'm doing pretty good.
I see there's been a few new donations - thank you so much for supporting this cause (Children's Cancer). Back on August 5th(?) when I decided to participate, it was sort of a spur of the moment decision(I didn't even have my own bike much less ridden in awhile). God has provided - I picked up a good used bike off of fb marketplace, and I'm not as wobbly as I initially feared.
Unfortunately, many of us know someone that has been affected by cancer in some form or another.
This past Monday i finished swapping out the tires and tubes, adjusting a few things in, and got a few shakedown rides in.
Everything checks out good, and no unusual soreness so we are a go for the rest of the month!
This weekend will be tough to get a ride in as the schedule is pretty packed, but I'm planning on getting atleast another 20 miles knocked out.
