Going on a ride
Lance Armstrong is coming to Portland. Together with Nike and OHSU, the Lance Armstrong Foundation is sponsoring a fundraising bicycle ride to support cancer research. More about the ride is at the LiveSTRONG Ride site.
Why does this concern me? I love cycling, the LAF is a worthy cause, and I registered to ride the 100 mile course. You can support LAF and my efforts at the above link. Just find the "Support A Rider" link on the left column, enter "Kubo" in the search field to find my account to make a donation.
One of the coolest things about this ride for me is that many of the roads used are the same ones I ride for my normal training. The roads are very familiar to me, so I know exactly what to expect. For example, I've been on Bald Peak Road a number of times, although only once up to the summit. I frequently go through the Mountain Home area to do some extended climbing and to practice descending skills down into Scholls.
Thanks,
Mark
