Ho My Gosh It's May!

Time has been flying by and there's only one more month till we're off.  That means we have one more month to hit our goal of $4,500 each or we can't help build and spread the word this summer so please donate if you haven't already.  Also please help by spreading the word to your friends and family.

On another note, I recently got the chance to catch up with an alum of the Bike & Build program this week and was given a few tips:

Tip #1: Wear sunscreen!

     Despite wearing sunscreen just about every day apparently he still has a cycling tan almost a year later.  Sexy cycling tans here we come!

Tip #2: When using clip-less pedals you're going to fall but it'll be ok!

      Kathy has already had the pleasure of this experience, ripping up her knees a little bit, but I have not. And I fear that it is imminent and will happen when I least expect it...but I guess it will be ok..

                                          Me on the right falling..
                                          Kathy on the left saying "HA!"

Tip #3: Bike with different people in your group every day.

     At the start of our trip we will be complete strangers.  Together we will have raised ~$135,000 but our journey will have just begun.  It will be a tough trip full of stressful days; days when we will be building houses after long days of biking, and days when we will have to bike after building.  The better we know each other the more support we can give each other and the more we can support affordable housing.  I can't wait to become part of our team.

Till next time,
