Tour du Rouge Countdown - T-7

Just 7 days left before the "big ride" for the American Red Cross! I have a little over $800.00 left to raise, but with the help of a few of my friends and fellow riders from the Plano Bicycle Association that should surpass the goal. As much as I would have liked to have ridden more leading up to the last week, I should be ok. The first couple of days will be the hardest if the weather holds true to form. It is always a factor on a ride, as we all know. Last Saturday, we had moderate winds out of the South and Southwest that seemed the be in my face for a good part of the ride. Combine that with a few of the hills that we faced and it can make for a long day. Going into this week, I plan on getting about 4 - 20 to 25 mile rides in just to have some "saddle time" on my new seat. If it doesn't feel better by Wednesday, off it comes and back on with the old one!
