Final MS-150 Update

 Ok, it is Tuesday before the ride and we are feeling a bit more confident. We rode nearly 60 miles on Saturday, and might have gone farther but Dave had a flat. Since we could walk on Sunday we feel pretty good that we can make the ride and survive. Dave is still $70 short of his fundraising goal but at least he’s managed to raise some last-minute money. Carin has graciously donated her dog-watching services so they can stay home and avoid the doggie hotel. I think we are fairly prepared. All we have to do now is pedal away!!

Only one week to go! Are we ready? Well, I’m getting a little nervous. I know the first day will be OK but getting back in the saddle on the second day….oh how that will hurt. I’ve been riding to work a few times a week which is about 18 miles each way (sometimes I wuss out and take the train home) but on the weekends we’ve done a few fairly substantial training rides so I think we will survive. But we will be sore. Also, Dave still hasn’t raised enough $$ so you have a last chance to donate if you click here:

Thanks for your support and you’ll see photos from the ride soon!

    We have an article that we plan on publishing in our church newsletter for July, and it is about a mule. One of your pictures on http://blogs.bootsnall.com/theisen/south-dakota.html is of a mule looking into your car window, and it is great! Is there any way we could use a cropped version of your photo for our newsletter, which goes out to about 600 addresses? We would sure appreciate it!
