Anyone else riding in a MS Bike Tour this year?
This will be my 3rd year doing it. My first year I rode in the one-day,
40 mile version of it on a cheapish 24" unicycle (I think I had an air
cushion though). Last year I tried for the whole two-day, 150 mile Tour
(this time on a 700c) but could only manage 25 miles on the trip back,
on the second day. When I finished the 75 miles on the first day, there
were 4 bicyclists still behind me. That felt good. I was able to raise
over a $1,000, which also felt good.
This year I'm determined to do the whole 150 miles. I'm training on
average about 10-12 miles a day right now. By the time of the Tour
(June 5-6) I hope to be riding 20-25 miles a day. I'd really like to
get a CF seat frame before then but they're out of stock right now,
anyone know when they'll be back? Or does anyone besides unicycle.com
sell them? A rail adapter with one of Bedford's new CF seatposts would
be nice too, but unicycle.com's cheapest rail adapter is out of stock
now too.
For those that don't know, the MS Bike Tour is the main fundraiser of
the 'National Multiple Sclerosis Society'
(http://www.nationalmssociety.org).
If you're interested in sponsoring a unicyclist (me) in support of MS
research, 'click here' (http://tinyurl.com/2y8jr).
