75-mile bike ride - no problem!
May 2, 2006 2:29 PM
In preparation for IsraelRide next week my dad and I biked 75 miles on Saturday. It took us 8 hours, including some snack breaks and a stop for lunch. It was the longest he and I have ever rode in one day.
The weather was nice again on Monday, so I did it again - all 75 miles, but as fast as possible. I did it in just six hours. The best part is that I'm not even sore today. I think I'm ready for the IsraelRide, which totals about 300 miles over five days of riding.

The WO&D Trail - not too crowded on a Monday.
Speaking of the IsraelRide - which starts a week from today - it's not too late to donate. I've reached my goal of $3000, but I'd like to raise even more. It's a simple form, they accept all credit cards, 100% goes to the organizations I'm raising money for, and they'll send you a receipt so you can deduct your donation on your taxes next year.
Donate here:

If everyone who reads my blog today gives just $10 I'd raise an additional $30,000!
