The poor air quality has sent my rides inside for a few days but I'm determined to make it work. With all of the support I've received I've now raised over $2000. I'm close enough to the superhero jersey at $2500 that I'm going to keep pushing and see if I can earn a jersey to give to an actual hero, a kid fighting cancer.
Seven days and 258 km. I felt awesome on my ride today. (The new bike shorts might have helped.) I'll slow down a little after this as I balance dragon boat races, semester prep, and riding. But I have no doubt I'll cruise past 500 km before the end of the month.
I have to admit I'm feeling the legs and my wrist after 150 km in four days. Due to other events happening this month I am front loading my distance so I'll keep pushing for the next few days and see how far I can get.
Also had to redo my bar tape today which I've never done so we'll see how it holds up when I ride.
Thanks to everyone who donated to my ride already. To keep the momentum going I have upped my fundraising target. I'd love to be able to give another kid fighting cancer a superhero jersey this year. So I may increase it again depending on the next few days.
First ride of this year's challenge is done. Did 37 km. Only 463 to go.
Definitely a warm ride today, even with taking off around 8 am. But, I'm so thankful to have the ability to ride and a beautiful river valley to ride in.
