Shiner B.A.S.H 2007

I did it. I signed up with Team in Training to cycle from San Antonio to Shiner, TX. It's called the Shiner B.A.S.H. It's about a 90 mi ride which is why training begins next week if I'm to be ready for the ride in May.

Team in Training provides coaches and extra vehicle support during the ride in return for raising funds for cancer. I probably don't give enough anyways, so I signed up knowing that I would get coaching and encouragement for an amount I was willing to give anyways. However, if you would like to donate to blood cancer research and relief, you're more than welcome. Team in Training must give 75% of what's raised, but I'll contribute at least 25% of what's donated so that 100% of your donated dollars goes to the cause.

My first road bicycle

Well, it's done. I bought my first road bicycle. It's a 2006 Fuji Roubaix Pro.



I may not get it for a month since I'm trying to make it to Kansas for a while. I bought it from a very small shop near rudy's on I-10 called Joe's Pro Bikes. Joe is the only one that works there which makes it nice because I can always deal with Joe. Joe has a ton of riding experience and is very vocal about what he thinks you need and don't need.

I probably am just going to ride for recreation, but I like going fast and want to see improvement in my abilities.
