Training for the Adirondack 540, including some night riding.
Training for the Adirondack 540.
Tour de Cure - June 10 - 100 km for the American Diabetes Association. Started riding 9:30 the night before to train for the Dream Ride LDC. Jenn and Craig jr. also rode the 100 km Tour de Cure with me. It was their first 100 km ride and they both did fantastic!!
Dream Ride Longest Day Challenge - June 24th & 25th - 402.5 miles with 27,000 feet of climbs. Last year was the first year for the event. The temps both days were in the upper 90's with road temps over 110. I had a fantastic crew - with their support I was able to be the only solo rider to complete the course, with an official time of 35 hours 42 minutes. This year I'll be riding in the Longest Day Challenge as a training run for the Adirondack 540, and as a fundraiser for four shelters sponsored by Catholic Charities of of the Diocese of Harrisburg: Interfaith Shelter for Homeless Families, Evergreen House for rehabilitative services to recovering women, Hope House for individuals living with AIDS, and Lourdeshouse maternity home. For more information on these shelters, go to www.hbgdiocese.org and select Specialized Residences.
