I have enjoyed riding my bike this summer, so much so that I signed up for a bike event September 13 and 14 called Bike Trek to Shakertown. For those of you familiar with Kentucky, the ride starts in Harrodsburg and meanders through the bluegrass for a 30 to 35 miles each day (for the beginners that is). This will be my first official bike event. I am pretty excited about it and hope my legs are up for it!
Proceeds from the ride benefit the American Lung Association to support the fight against lung disease, which I am glad to back because my grandmother died of a lung disease. My goal is to raise $200. So far I have $110. If any of you want to assist me in my cause to help me reach my goal, I would be very grateful. You can easily make a pledge online at my personal fundraising page: http://www.petervcook.com/biketrek or write a check to the American Lung Association and get me the check so I can send it in with my biker ID number to credit for it.
Keep an eye out for a follow up post about how the trek went…I am sure I will have something to say about it!
