Today I went out for an evening bike ride. It's always a little more peaceful just before sunset out on the causeway. All the jet skiers have gone home so the water is quiet. I stopped my ride for a moment to study the shadows cast by a row of palm trees across the trail when I turned to the bay. There I saw an osprey enjoying a little dinner. It looked like a little catfish. He seemed to accept me watching him for quite a while. It is amazing how much wildlife I see with all those cars whizzing past only a few feet away.
It's here again, the 2023 Great Cycle Challenge ! I have challenged myself to ride 300 miles in the month of September and I have challenged myself and you to raise $2500 to find a cure for childhood cancer. We are off to a good start, to date I have raised $1226 from friends and family. I have a team with 7 members so far. As a team we hope to raise $5000 and ride 1000 miles. I think we can exceed both of those challenges. I did my first ride this morning and hoped to ride 15 miles. When I was done the app said I had ridden 214 miles in about 2 and a half hours. Quite impressive but incorrect. I contacted GCC tech support and they assured me the glitch would be corrected. i'm going to try and ride as many days as possible this month and document them on this blog. I may have to do a few days on stationary bikes in hotel workout rooms or borrow bikes from friends but somehow I'll get the miles in.
