Soon enough...

Well, there's only a little more than a week left before the ride begins. I've finally finished my fundraising, thanks to my students' amazing donations! My training has been going well. I've been so busy lately with last minute preparation for the ride and preparing my students for their final exam and grading the final assignments that riding time has been very hard to fit in lately. I got to ride with my brother this past weekend during a rare local appearance which was great! I'm in much better shape since the last time I rode with him in October or November. I can't wait for it all to begin and meet all of my fellow riders. But until then...I've got a lot of preparation still left to do before I leave my home, my cat, my bills, and my job for a summer of excitement! Soon enough...
