"MoNiEs FoR BooBiEs"

Its funny.

I speak about my life philosophies and some people, well, they may tease them.

But, being a man who walks a path of a warrior, I think in life, you sometimes have to go into battle.

And if you have no Battles, then you go out and create a battle.

Warriors in the old days would sometimes perform Feats.

A feat is a self imposed challenge that seems almost impossible to on lookers. A good feat should push you to the limit of your very being forcing a point of introspection and a point of reflection where you begin to challenge your own mind and push yourself beyond. A feat is something that when you finish, you are washed over with a feeling of great accomplishment and others look at it and say, "damn, your a monster".

Let me start by saying that anyone who completes the CFiTT will be performing a feat. Although the mileage is small compared to other self supported races, the challenge is big. So warriors, your feats await.

BUT, in life, sometimes you are presented by obstacles. I always like to say, the Creator would never put anything upon us that we cant handle. Recently, someone I care for has been directly affected by Breast Cancer. Seems fitting that Breast Cancer awareness month is October. Seems fitting as well, that October is also the month I celebrate my existence in this known universe, what you normal people call, my birthday.

I could have lined up on my Black Beauty geared machine. And that is what I intended to do. BUT, then I saw an opportunity for a bigger feat. Considering the longest ride I have done on my fixie was 100 miles and that was over two days. To do 170 miles in less than 24 hours would be a spectacular feat.

Coupled with the recent afflictions that some of the people I care about have been affected by, I figured this was a wonderful opportunity to not only perform an amazing warriors feat. But possibly establish a long time Fixie Record for the CFiTT, AND at the same time, raise money and make a sizeable donation to Pink Ribbon dot org.

SO I ask for your donations, I ask for your support. I ask you to click that Donate button and throw me a dollar if that is all you want. Throw more if you feel inclined, Challenge me to challenge myself. I want to raise Ten dollars for every non coasting miles I ride. I want to help contribute the best way you can contribute in this society by giving money. Every little bit helps, spread the word, tell your friends. Look at the cycling community as a whole, Look at the cycling community for the entire world, There are not many ultra endurance Fixie riders, in fact, I only know of one that has been extremely successful in a multi day event on a fixed gear bicycle.

I am committed to ride my Fixie, and I will not stop and will not quit till I get to Tucker Hill.

And I will broadcast on this blog every step of the way what happens to me on my biggest adventure to date.

Donate and help.

thanks,

Laters,
