So yesterday I got out and did 18 Miles. The longest time Ive spent on a bike in 5 years. Man it felt great. I was shocked that it was as easy as it was considering how long I've been away from biking, I guess the fact that I stay active helps. But man when I woke up this morning my butt let me know that it doesn't remember what its like being in the saddle for that long. And I even had padded biking shorts. But its good that I'm getting my butt used to it again now since come next summer I'll bee in the saddle almost 8 hours a day. And ya know I was never a big road biker but I am hooked, it's absolutely amazing how smooth and efficient those things are.

Well people things are lookin pretty good. Id like to say thank you to my Aunt Nadine from NJ for her support. Thanks Chocie, you rock. Hope your gonna be around for turkey day, and if not hope you have a good one.
I have raised $741 so far ... that means $259 and Ill be cruisin in style on my sweet new ride, and $3000 away from taking that ride cross country next summer and helping build houses for low-income families. Not to mention spreading the word about how Affordable Housing issues affects over 30 million homes in the US. How roughly 11 million people live in decrepit, run down homes. Homes with no heat, no hot water or no electricity. Homes that no one should have to live in, let alone raise a family in. So please help make the communities of America a better place for the generations of tomorrow. Even by donating as little as $1 will help put a family in need into a decent and safe home. If we all help just a little we can make a huge difference. Spread the good word. BIKE AND BUILD NUS 2010...PEDALING TO END POVERTY HOUSING!!!
