reevesr1 Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Hello Everyone, The ride is about 1 month away. With the generous help of the members of this board, I have exceeded my fund raising goals. But I'd like to shatter it! The difficulty of the ride for me has been upped a bit as I will be riding while still recovering from a broken collarbone I suffered training a couple of weeks ago. The Dr said I was structurally sound to ride, but that it would likely hurt a bit (he actually doesn't think I'll finish--challenge accepted). My wife thinks I'm crazy, but nothing new there. I'm still really looking forward to this. If anyone is able to help, I would sure appreciate it. Here is a link to my donation site, and thanks again! http://www.conquercancer.ca/site/TR/Events/Alberta2013?px=3128774&pg=personal&fr_id=1452 Quote
reevesr1 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Posted June 13, 2013 Finally was able to do a training ride yesterday, post injury and vertigo. 2.5 hrs or so down 22 and back again. Ride was really good, shoulder was no issue. Lack of training was really evident, but what can you do? Quote
Muffin Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Glad to hear everything went well Rick. With the exception of a lack of training. Nice to be healthy I am sure. Quote
reevesr1 Posted June 17, 2013 Author Posted June 17, 2013 I rode 150 or so KM this weekend. Went pretty well, at least shoulder wise. The lack of training was really evident, and this weekend is going to be a challenge, but no reason I won't be able to pull it off. There are still 5 days to donate!! Quote
reevesr1 Posted June 23, 2013 Author Posted June 23, 2013 So they ended up postponing the ride. The new dates don't work for me at all (I'd have to cancel vacation plans and risk divorce!), so I decided to do my own ride. I did 100KM yesterday, second 100 in an hour or so. It was a little surreal doing it solo, thinking about friends and family who have battled cancer-some successfully and some not, but always valiantly. I did ride south of town to avoid the devastation that is happening. And I did spend a lot of time thinking about what is happening to my adopted, and favorite, city. Everyone stay safe, and thanks to all for your support. Quote
