I've got a bit to update you on, but I promise I'll do my best to not bore you!

After testing out the road bike on the trainer, I decided to see how well I'd fare on some trails. So I packed up my bike and drove out to my friend (and sponsor!) Lisanne's place to ride with her and her 8 year old daughter. Should be easy, right? Boy was I wrong! Her daughter was quite the biker and put me through my paces! We drove up to where Warren and I and his father stopped for lunch a month or so ago (up in Highland Park, maybe), got on our bikes - destination, Chicago! We didn't quite make it because we both had things to do that night, but it was pretty fun! And a nice 20 miles, too. Lisanne and I have decided to try and ride every Sunday.

I rode to work the following Monday - nothing too terribly exciting there. Again, about 20 miles. I've decided I'm going to buy another bike lock (that'll be three total) so I can ride my road bike to work and get in some extra miles on the way home. It'll be really nice to have my rear-end stay in the same seat I'm going to be riding in September :)

The rest of the week was hectic, so I didn't make it out on either bike :(

Saturday, I hosted a fundraising houseparty which was GREAT! There were 16 people, and they all pitched in $2,505! I'm simply amazed at the generosity of the great group of people that I was honored to have in my home.

Sunday, much to my dismay, I woke up with a horrible headache (too much celebrating!) - but forced myself to drive out to Elgin where Lisanne and I rode another 20 miles, this time on the Illinois Prairie Path. We really need to start a little sooner so we can get in some more miles!
