I managed to meet my goal for LIVESTRONG- My work fundraiser netted me $25 after the cost of cupcakes and candy, but then a co-worker gave me a particularly large contribution.
The funny part is that I was REALLY ambitious choosing this particular ride- 105 miles, 2100 feet of climbs, in the July heat. I'm half elated to give it a shot, and half petrified I won't make it to the first checkpoint!
