FLAT TIRE!

So I know it sounds like an excuse (which it is) but I got my bike out of the shower on Monday afternoon and it had a flat tire!  

So I went about fixing that tire and while I was at it tuned up the bike.  

Nicole made fun of me because I came up from my man cave of a basement with grease all over my hands and tire parts in my grip.  It's cold down there!  No heat or insulation!

Anyway, I moved my operation to the kitchen table and patched the pin size hole in my tube.  

Now I am ready to ride. . .

No more excuses. . .

Cheers,

Mitch

The first person to donate (and get my bike out of the shower)!

Thanks and eternal recognition goes to Chris, Margs,
Anna Banana, Cheech, and Murph for getting my bike
out of the shower and getting me on the road to 62 miles!







Also thanks for Uncle Jim (brushing Murph here)
for his generous donation and pledge to double it
if I finish under 4 hours!





Also thanks to my wife Nicole (here with Chris and Margs Daughter Anna) for putting up with my bike clothes, trainer in the house, and general craziness!






Anyway, I just sent out the sponsor requests yesterday and I have already gotten a great response! Already raised $475! Keep it coming! I hope I have to up my goal!

Cheers,
Mitch

Help me get my bike out of the shower. . .

My bike currently lives in our guest bathroom shower.

I need to start riding but I need your help.

The first person to donate gets the honor of making me get my bike out of the shower. You will be memorialized for all eternity (or at least as long as this blog stays up in cyberspace) as the person who got my bike out of the shower!

Lets start riding!!!

Cheers,

Mitch
