I always have bad luck when it comes to finding out about cool events.
Last year I was reading the Austin Chronicle and saw that the Hill Country Ride for AIDS was happening that weekend. I love riding my bike, didn't have anything to do that weekend and really want there to be a cure for AIDS. Then I looked to the bottom of the page and saw that it was a 50 mile ride and that there were people who had raised thousands of dollars towards a cure. My heart and not to mention my body didn't feel I was ready.
So I committed myself to the following year, ready to train, and raise some major moola. This weekend I started training. It hasn't been so bad to tell you the truth. Taking things in 5 mile increments. Thursday I rode 5 miles, Friday I rode 5 miles and today I rode 10. And Georgetown is a pretty good place to start out, there are lots of hills and places to hit the pavement.
I really love my bike, its a steady ride. Here it is... It doesn't have a name yet, so hit me up with suggestions if you are so compelled.
Well I'll keep you all updated on the training and how you can help! Donate or be a part of the ride crew :)
So until then... DA DADADA DADADA DADADAAAAA... EYE OF THE TIGER!!

Britter! I will totally ride with you, if I can get my goofy little bike to go for that long.
Totally, though. When is it?
