I forsee having to ride the SAG. They'll take you whatever distance you want or need to go. I am hoping that I can at least finish the whole 75 miles on Saturday. That's a long way and I'm going to do my best. I'll go as far as I can on Sunday, maybe ride the SAG for a little bit, then bike the last 10 or 20 miles in to the finish. Although, by the grace and power of God, I might be able to do the whole thing.... but probably not... I'm not setting unrealistic goals for myself. I am new to cycling and didn't have enough to time to properly train for this insane endeavor. Again, I'm going to give it my best and that's all I can do. After all, the purpose of this ride is not to see how fast you can complete it- it's not even a race. The real purpose is to push yourself to ride for those with MS who can't ride a bike. That is our motivation to try hard to succeed. Your donations make all the difference, and thank you to all who have contributed to the cause thus far. I have three friends at work whose immediate family members have MS- I am riding for them. I am riding for a cure. I, too, might need a cure of some sort once I finish this ride, so I will be taking personal donations to pay for my hospital bill later! Haha, I'm kidding. Please pray for all of the riders' safety this weekend. Pray for our health. And pray for a cure for MS.

I think you are going to do great! We are proud of you for even trying. My aunt has MS and I am truly grateful to you.
