"That day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little ride..."

Welcome to my blog! From December 06 to August 07 I intend to devote this space to discussing the trials and tribulations of preparing for and completing a cross-country fundraising bicycle extravaganza. For those who are new to my blog, I am riding my bicycle from New Haven, CT to San Francisco California during the summer of 2007. This is part of the Habitat Bicycle Challenge and about 90 other intrepid young souls will be joining me in this endeavor. Each rider will raise $4000 before May 30, 2007, and provided that all the money is raised, we will ride from New Haven, CT across the country to three different destinations: San Francisco, CA, Portland, OR, and Seattle, WA. All the proceeds go towards the construction of houses for low-income families.

Matching Grant!

Thank you to my anonymous donor who has bequethed me with a wonderful opportunity to turn my piddling fundraising efforts into a full-scale operation. As of December 26, 2006 I received an offer to match any donations collected through February 1, 2007. This is a huge gift to my fundraising campaign and I can not say thank you enough to the wonderful people who are making that possible! Also, my next fundraising goal is $1500 by February 1, so this gift is (to say the least) very convenient.
