We start riding three weeks from today out of San Diego. At least it won't be snowing (I hope) but we will be heading into the mountains on that first day.
My training is going well but now I am concentrating on getting everything organized at home before I leave.
I am having a wine-tasting fundraiser next Saturday for my Pedal with a Heart fund. I also wish to thank everyone who has contributed. We are doing well, over $1,600 which will be matched 1:1. If you haven't pledged, don't worry you can do so anytime during my tour. I have a new pledger who is pledging 3 cents a mile but says I can't sag. SAG stands for support and gear and is a short way of saying that you can take a van/car ride if you need to.
Barb (a fellow rider on the WomanTour) and I took the first of two classes on bike maintenance. We spent most of the time on tires. I discovered that my tires are very tight on my rim and I had a bit of difficulty with this. I am sure I will get some more practice on the trip. It was a very helpful class and we continue next week with work on our drive train. (Note to other riders on the Tour: Barb and I are not yet experts.)
