Perspective

You know your perspective regarding distance cycling is skewed when you no longer think of 40 miles as long. 



Just a nice Sunday ride in the country.


But it was hot as we were nearing home. Which meant I had to practice a post-ride ritual.



6 days left.

Unofficial kickoff on a chilly morning in KY

Image
On April 21st, Lisa and I unofficially kicked off the Raise One For Anne Tour by participating in the 100km Red Bud Ride in London, KY. It was a Sunny yet brisk morning(38F!) when we set out from downtown London for a tour of part of The Daniel Boone National Forest. Dressed like bob sledding Eskimos we were off with the stiffness from sleeping in a hotel bed and the morning chill. The Red Bud Ride presented us with about 3000 ft of climbing in a day. For perspective, I can ride the same distance near Columbus and barely crack 1000 ft. But Raise One For Anne isn't about doing things because they are easy. The people who live with epilepsy don't have easy lives. We dealt with the early rollers and found the first SAG station about 20 miles in to grab a snack, fill up water bottles, and get rid of our morning coffee. We had ditched our wind breakers but still were all but covered from head to toe as we warmed our legs back up and headed for the days biggest challeng...

87 mile...reroute+ bad math=> 100 mile ride

Image
We rolled out this morning about 630 in an attempt to avoid the heat. It was nice and cool with long shadows of Sunrise. About mile 40 we decided to change up our 87 mile route. I failed at doing math backward in my head and picked a turn around point that would actually put us at 97 miles by the time we got home.  97 is completely unacceptable! So we chose to go for ALL! and ride 100 miles. This meant an extra stop on the way back for water and food. Don’t judge me! They were delicious! Our training plan didn’t call for back to back centuries but we did it! And we have an even longer training ride planned for next weekend. Fundraising is going okay. Thanks to all who already donated! Remember any amount is accepted! On another note today marks 4 years since the last time we saw Anne before she died. That was a good day!

New Jerseys: Raise One For Anne 2020

Image
For this year we're going to do one long/very long ride each month from May - September. We'll release the ride calendar later. Today, we're offering you an opportunity to make a small donation and buy a sweet new cycling jersey to support our cause! These jerseys will be made by Owayo. We've used this company in the past and the product quality is great. Nice fit, a bit on the snug side so choose your size wisely, and excellent finish. The women's jersey will be a 3/4 zip(in line with Lisa's preference) and the men's a full zip. Your cost will be $100 plus shipping. Any difference between my cost will be donated to The Epilepsy Foundation's SUDEP Institute. I will absorb all shipping costs from the manufacturer to me. Delivery time from Owayo is 4-6 weeks. Here is a link to their  Size Chart . I do recommend measuring if at all possible. Please email me, seanlisa@gmail.com, if you would like to order a jersey. If you know my phone number, you ca...
