Today was a special day for Patti's Paladins. According to the online tally, we just passed the halfway point toward our 2006 fundraising goal. That's a big deal because our goal this year is $20,000 --- pretty doggone ambitious!
Personally, this year I have been working much harder on my fundraising than ever before. So far my hard work has been rewarded, but we ride in 26 days so I need to get cracking.
Lots of people say to me "good luck with your race." The Pedal to the Point is not a race at all, but it would be rude to correct them so I don't.
But in the big picture, maybe they are right. Maybe it is a race. In many ways the fundraising aspect feels like I am racing against the clock to achieve an incredible level of performance. Now we are entering the home stretch and I've got to pour it on or I won't make it.
I think this week will be a good time for my snail-mail letter writing campaign.

Going up a hill. Ugh.
How I don't kill myself on these rides is simply a miracle. Behind me you can see Mike Su, Christina, probably Rebecca, Mike K, Rick . . . I can't identify them.

Mike Su, Rebecca and I got in a fairly decent 18 miles and change last night. We rode through Cumberland & Forest Hills Parks, then through a nicer corner of East Cleveland to GE's Nela Park facility. From there we turned due south and rode through suburbia to Shaker Lakes. We were harassed once by a crowd of kids in the street, but no harm done.
No pics. Sorry.
