Bike Trek #1

My dear friend Bud Kerr passed away on May 9th. I miss him a lot.

He had a respiratory illness, that may have slowed down his body, but definitely not his spirit.

Sitting in the stands watching baseball isn't the same.

 

So, when I came across the brochure for the BC Lung Association's Bike Trek for Life. Its a 200km fundraising bike ride, Sept 12 - 13.

I knew I had found something for me to honor him with.

I am not as fit as I once was - thats for sure - but I wanted to participate in an event that meant something to me.

I am working to raise $1000 for the event, in Bud's honor.
 

The training is going ok - so far so good. I had a bike that was covered in dust that a friend gave me over a year ago. I have a new seat - or saddle as the lingo goes, and I have been training for about 2 weeks now.

  I feel soooo slow. But I know that my legs will get better, stronger and faster. Right now, I have reservations..... I'm not as speedy as I was when I was 10.
 
But I will plug - er, pedal, away.
