I'm an avid cyclist but you would be forgiven for questioning this statement after seeing the dust build-up on my bikes. I've been focused on my project at work lately and now that it is wrapping up, I've decided to get back into a regular cycling regime. One thing that helps in such endeavors is to set a goal and work toward it. I've done quite a few century rides (100 miles in a day) in past years and thought that would be a good goal for this year. Shortly after making the decision to do a century ride an email arrived in my work inbox: Jim Sink, a colleague of mine at Adobe is organizing a team to ride in the LIVESTRONG Challenge on July 13th. This is sooner than I had hoped in that it doesn't give me as much time to prepare as I would like, but I'm always up for a good challenge. In addition to setting a goal to ride 500 training miles in 6 weeks so I can ride 100 miles in one day, I also need to figure out a way to raise money for the event. Jim has set a goal of 25 riders for the team and a total fundraising amount of $15,000. I've joined the team and you can view my personal challenge page here.
