Sunday is the big day. It's the National Capital Area's
Tour de Cure
in support of the American Diabetes Association. At this point, I am
riding the half century (+4 miles) plus an additional ten or so miles
from my house to the start/finish and back home which will equal a
metric century. It'll be the farthest distance I've ridden even if I'm
able to do only the "official" route. I'm nervous about this -- dull
surprise -- but I will ride with the knowledge that the donors to my
fundraising efforts and the people for whom I riding in memory of and in
honor of will be with me in spirit.
I made these tags to attach to my bike as a visual reminder of those who
live and have lived with diabetes. If you donated and wish for me to
include the name(s) of someone(s) special, please let me know in the
comments or by email (melaniesuzanne AT gmail DOT com).
THANK YOU
to everyone who has donated and/or cheered me on. You are all fantastic
people and my life (and the lives of those who will be helped by the
ADA) are better for knowing you.
Yay!!!! Go Melanie! Go Melanie!! <--I'm doing my best cheerleader dance right now - thankfully, you don't have to see it. :O)
ReplyDeleteYou can definitely do it. Pace yourself and just enjoy it as much as possible. Can't wait to read all about the adventure.
Aw, thanks hon. :) I appreciate your support so very, very much. :)
DeleteWork fast, change speeds, throw strikes. Oops! that's advice for how to pitch in the big leagues. Try this: Ride easy, eat and drink lots, have fun. That's better
