Face of America Bicycle Ride 2008: Surrender

Posted By Laughing_Wolf

As some of you may remember, I am going to be at the Face of America Bicycle Ride 2008 in a few weeks in DC. I was scheduled to take part but several things have come up. Not only is it bad enough that my own blog-brother Jimbo has thrown his full support behind another, but I must admit I did not reach some milestones on my own. For me to ride the entire distance meant that two weeks ago I needed to be able to do 15 (or more) miles in an hour, plus meet some speed and other goals. I didn't, and also discovered that seats that didn't bother me 35 years ago now make me walk funny after 30 minutes. Add in issues on getting either my bike there or a bike there, that while not insurmountable were more pain that I can deal with right now, and...

Being able to read the writing on the wall, I elected not to ride but to volunteer and support as a part of the Soldier's Angels team. I have also decided to support harass Chuck Z. This had already been decided before the traitor Uncle J jumped in, and it is a true pleasure to do so.

This is something important and fun, so go do what you can. Also, if you are a reader in the DC area, and want to try to meet up, drop me an e-mail and we will see what can happen.
