a little recap of various things seen and experienced from the 2008 Livestrong ride…
14 cattle-guards, I think I’m still vibrating from
6 road-side animal carcases that brought on nausea.. as if I wasn’t having enough trouble.
3 buzzards, that I’m pretty sure were circling me
5 Advil… thanks Jerm, and guy at rest stop 4!
20 miles of cramps, hence the lethal dosage of Advil.
4 rest stops, pretty sure Journey blaring at the last one brought me back to life!
2 handfuls of gummy bears
8 water bottle refills
3 tandem bikes sightings…. definitely the way to go!
2 little kid passings that are a sore subject.
1 rubber ducky for Drew.
2 farmer tans
1 Lance sighting… swoon!
50 miles of beautiful country side
… and 3,000 people picking a fight with cancer.

I think if I would have gotten a $1 from every person that passed me I could have already met my donation minimum for next year. Anyways, Matt and I did our first ride together, it was fun, and he was great… I on the other hand am just happy I finished! Maybe next year we’ll even get to hang with the cool kids (i.e. Wade, Jerm, and Steph).
