I've begun training! Technically, I've been training with my Kung Fu classmates all winter and spring, but now I have the Des Plaines River and Cook County Forest Preserve Trails to help me adjust to riding great distances at once.
My bike is a 24in mountain bike which is about 15 years old. There's nothing wrong with it, and my goal is to raise money, not spend money so I plan on riding it the whole 300 miles despite its less-than-desirable size!
Meet my bike Buford Blue and I getting excited about seeing newly-planted and properly-mulched trees at the forest preserve during our Saturday ride this weekend:
My three loving supporters (pictured below) and I stopped at the Chicago Botanic Gardens and enjoyed a green garden roof and admired the solar panels at one of their research facilities.
How do donate:
