Happy New Year!!! I hope everyone had a great holiday season! I had wonderful pre-christmas news which is I was selected as a Team Leader for a bike and build trip! So I will still be biking across America, but my trip has been changed from Maine to Santa Barbara to Providence to Seattle! I am super excited about the opportunity and am highly anticipating this great leadership endeavor!
I may have forgotten how to ride my bike though!! Just kidding! Seriously though, that flat tire I spoke about last post was just changed this evening by yours truly with assistance from my go to bike aficionado.... and boyfriend, Tim. So hopefully I'll get back out there and log some miles soon, although Boston is getting a bit chilly. I don't think my few miles crusing around on a tandem bike in Florida over break count for much so I better figure something out.
One thing that is definitely going to motivate me to get back out on my bicycle are all the awesome bike related accessories and apparel I received for my Christmas/Birthday and all the recent monetary donations that are fueling me across the country dollar by dollar, mile by mile! Huge thanks to my most recent contributors Jay Glickman, Bill DeBaun, Cait Douglas, Babchi & Pip, Dad, and Grandma DeBaun!!
Check out those who have generously donated to this great cause on the right off the blog and get your name on that list too by visiting http://bikeandbuild.org/rider/5497 and donating to my trip!
Now I'm going to brag about all my new stuff because I'm so excited about!
Not one, but TWO pairs of comfy bike shorts
Two sided pedals
Cleats to be attached to future shoes to go in pedals
Armadillo tires to go on my bike when it arrives!
Bike Gloves
Bike Computer
Saddlebag
Tubes
Big thanks to Tim, Mom, Dad, Babchi, Pip, and Grandma for hooking me up with all this great gear! Just as vital as reaching my fundraising goal is having the right gear to get me across the country so thanks!
