It is hard to believe I am flying out in about 41 days. There are so many things to finalize, packing gear, training, shopping for supplements and worst of all getting my wheels rebuilt.
A week or two ago I noticed a ticking/popping sound coming from my front wheel. the best we could trace it to was the welded joint in the rim. Needless to say with over 10,000 miles on them it was time for a rebuild. Thanks to Big Shark Bicycles here in St. Louis we should have them rebuilt next weekend and I should be able to put some good training miles on them. Better to iron all these things out now than in the middle of nowhere!! I have started fundraising already...........Once again I am riding for the Wounded Marines and Soldiers of The Joshua Chamberlain Society. Soon you will be able to follow my DOT (GPS location) on trackleaders but in the meantime consider making a donation. I self fund my ride for the shear pleasure (I think) of riding a great adventure so 100% of your donation goes to the Heroes of JCS! Stay tuned for May 29 starting in Santa Monica
