that really is the only question for cyclists, isn't it? i mean there are plenty of tasks that need to be completed and plenty of people to "catch up" with, but does anything compare to the possibility of being selected to pedal "from sea to shining sea" in the name of habitat for humanity? i may be exaggerating the awesomeness of such a prospect (of course, there are better ways to spend one's time especially with regards to family and friends and lovers), which is why i need your help. this is the first official poll that i have ever posted on my blog (and believe me when i say that it is only the beginning) and i hope you will share your thoughts. so here it is?
should i spend the next 7.5 months fund raising/training (which includes collecting at least $4,000 and biking an average of 40-75 miles per week) and then an additional 2.5 months on the actual bike & build (assisting at various Habitat for Humanity sites) journey from providence to san francisco?
reply with a...
(1) if you think this is a great idea and should be pursued, if all other factors have been considered.
(2) if you think this is a good idea, but would encourage me to consider other options of achieving a similar experience without the physical, financial and emotional costs
(3) if you think this is not a good idea, but would suggest that i think and pray about this prospect a little bit more
(4) if you think this is a terrible idea and would suggest that i discontinue any/all preparations for this trip immediately
thanks everyone. for more information about this bike ride go to www.bikeandbuild.org
until next time, remember to wear your helmets and check your brakes...
