A huge thank you to everyone who donated to my LIVESTRONG Challenge Davis ride!
I’ll be heading out shortly – I am riding to the start line this morning. The ride starts in Downtown Davis, so I thought being local and all, I could save a parking space for someone who has to travel by car. Parking in Downtown Davis is scarce on a good day, let alone a day like today.
I’m almost ready; just going through my mental checklist …
- Coffee? Check!
- Light, healthy breakfast? Check!
- Air in the tires, water bottles filled, electrolyte packets and a few back up snacks just in case … check, check, check!
- Read Bicycle Safety and Etiquette (http://www.livestrong.org/Take-Action/Team-LIVESTRONG-Events/Ride/Team-LIVESTRONG-Challenge-Davis/Bicycle-Safety-and-Etiquette) – done!
- Helmet, gloves, sunscreen sleeves, removable layers … got it!
- Sunscreen? 100 spf! Lip balm? Two!
- Camera? Of course! Extra battery? Yep!
- Study the route? Better get on that …
- Grateful for the 100’s of amazing volunteers who will be there today? Abundantly so!
- Can do attitude? Oh, yeah!
Pretty sure I’ve got all of the miscellaneous details covered.
Right now the weather looks beautiful in Davis and the wind is calm. Let’s hope the wind stays calm for the entire ride today! It tends to get pretty breezy out there on the roads between Vacaville and Davis.
Well, I’d better get back to it and get ready to get on the road. Wish me good luck!
