I'm riding from Seattle to D.C.

It's official. I have signed up for Hazon's Cross USA ride. We need to be in Seattle, WA by June 13 and we start the ride on Sunday June 16. June 13 and 14 are orientation days and because Hazon is a Jewish organization we observe Shabbat. To learn more about the ride go to: http://www.hazon.org/programs/cross-usa-ride/
I have my fundraising page from last year, but I am having trouble logging into it. I'll call Adrienne at Hazon tomorrow and hopefully she can walk me through it. The really amazing thing is that I actually figured out how to post this blog. I'm really still in the twentieth century.
Today was a tough riding day. I left relatively early, around 10:00 A.M., with plans to bike to Marshfield, around 20 miles from Hull.  I thought it would be relatively easy.  No strong winds, good familiar roads, rested for two days. Well, my legs felt like I had cement in them. I did hear this clicking noise the whole way there and back, so I'm hoping that maybe there is something rubbing on my bike and it's not me having a very tough day. I haven't had my bike checked out since my tumble over the handbars last Wed, so I will do that tomorrow. But I did manage to bike to Marshfield and back, a total of 46 miles, even though it took me most of the day. 
The good thing - tomorrow is a new day.

  1. How exciting! Congrats on making a bold and brave decision to go the distance. Sounds like it is going to be fabulous. As for today, I blame the bike.
