Day 20

 

238.7


Once again my riding math is wrong. I wanted to end the ride at exactly 240. But when I made it home and got off the bike and stopped the program I was a little short. Oh well I'll try for 250 tomorrow. 

But speaking of records have you checked the team page of Riding is Bliss? As a team we are doing great. The 6 of us have ridden 682.4 miles as of this evening. We have raised for the Children's Cancer Research Fund $7849.30. That is an amazing number. 

But as you can see from my post I have a problem with odd uneven numbers. So I'm asking for your help rounding up this number to a nice comfortable $8000.

Radiation Therapy

Dr. Galloway and the gang over at West Florida Radiation Therapy have developed a very efficient process of treating their patients. I arrive about 5 minutes before my scheduled treatment time. The waiting room is often empty in spite of having plenty of chairs. I have my temperature taken and wash my hands. Then within a minute or two I will have my name called. As I'm going back to the treatment room there is usually another guy just coming out of that room.  When the technicians are ready they call me in and I climb onto the treatment table. After I'm on the table my feet and legs are aligned using a hard pillow that is molded to my legs and feet. Then the table is moved into position and the technicians adjust me using lasers and my aiming tattoos.  The techs then leave the room and the machines take over. First two arm move into position to x-ray me to determine the position of my prostate. The table will make slight adjustments itself to move me into the best position. A...

Day One of the 2023 Great Cycle Challenge

 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. If you would like to donate to this wonderful cause follow this li...

Day 27 of the Great Cycle Challenge

  When I got up this morning the weather outside was cloudy and rainy. Not a good day to ride. Jan had planned to tide the stationary bikes today at the Safety Harbor Fitness Center. I decided to go with her.  When we got there no one was on the bikes so we had our pick. Jan chose a recumbent bike and I chose one that was more upright. It took a moment to familiarize myself with the touch screen. Then off I went! As with all my rides it takes a few miles to get into the rhythm. After about 2 miles or 10 minutes of riding I got the resistance set to a level I was comfortable with.  I rode for about an hour and according to the monitor that equaled about 12 miles which is about my normal ride time.  This ride brings me to 273.4 miles so far this month with 26.6 to go. That's a lot of riding in a month. If you would like to help with this cause just go to my Great Cycle Challenge page and click donate. Any amount helps.
