Hey Everybody!
Okay, so today was supposed to be the hardest day. But to tell you the truth, I thought yestereday was harder. First, it was my birthday and I realy wanted to get home. Second, it was hot. Today it drizzled/rained. And it happened when we were going downhill, which was great! I can't wait for tomorrow!

This is my bikeride blog. Over the past two years, I have organized a bikeride to raise money for Cancer Research. In 2009, we biked 220 miles, from Frostburg, Maryland to Washington, DC and last year, we biked 326 miles from Pittsburgh to Washington. With your help, we raised nearly $12,000 for the American Cancer Society!!! This year, we are doing it again, 100 miles in a single day and am hoping that I can count on your support, either by donating or riding.
Online Donations
Thanks to the American Cancer Society, donations can now be made online at my Family & Friends website
