Hello my people! There is so much to catch you up on I don't know where to begin, so I'll start...here!
1. I have a bike! Did I tell you that already? Thank you to Brother Sloan for the use of his sweet road bike. This will be its second cross-country trek in two years! It is tuned up and ready to go.
2. Training: I have been riding the aforementioned bike! My goal is to bike 300 miles before leaving in June. I have about 260 of those miles left, but with my school vacation I can easily knock off 100 more! In fact, after writing this entry I have a sweet 25 mile route planned that will take me down the beach and back!
4. Donations: Thank you to The Bicycle Link in Weymouth, MA, Cohasset Cycle Sports in Cohaset, MA, and Broadway Bicycle School in Cambridge, MA who have all donated equipment to my adventure! Together they have donated over $500 worth of equipment to help me complete my ride.
5. Fundraising Total = $4,634.86!!! Thank you for your help! That means only $365.14 needed to meet the minimum fundraising quota for cyclists. Every dollar helps improve the life chances of Americans with disabilities. I am proud to be your ambassador of good will this summer!
6. Route Selection: TransAmerica! This is what I was hoping for. I will leave from Seattle, WA on June 10. Check out our route and see if we bike near you. It would be wonderful to see you along the way :) If not along the way, then definitely in Washington D.C. for the arrival ceremony on August 15. Remember, frozen margaritas are in order after!
Thank you for your continued support! 44 days until departure for Seattle!
