A photo from the test ride before the rain strom
At the airport I went to check my bike and was ready to pay at least $100 for the bike carrier. The gate agent looked at me and said, no problem, I will just call it a second bag, it turns out she works at my dentist office, I saw her on Monday and knew about my trip. It’s a small world.
The bike make it safely, It was easy to assemble. We went for a test ride of about 10 miles before it started to rain.
Bike in the Box!
It is less then 1 week away and I am very excited! Time to start packing….
Bike in a Box!

Just reached my fundrasing goal!
Thanks for everyone help, I just crossed over my goal of raising $1,000! Read more
About the ride
The ride starts 50 miles south of Orlando. On Saturday we can take 1 of 3 routes; 50 miles, 75 miles, or 100 miles to Orlando.
On Sunday, we will all take the 50 mile route back the the start.
Wish me luck as the distatace does not worry me as much as riding in the 90 degree Florida heat as I have been training in 50 degree Wisconsin weather!
