Me and the bike

Sponsor the FatManOnABike




This is my first new bike. I sold it but Ill probably try to buy it back. I think it  could make a good grocery getter/ commuter with some racks to carry stuff.



This is my Trek 1000 I ebayed this bike and rode it for ~3500 miles. It was too big for me, but I had committed to it. Eventually I had to deal with pain/fit issues and it was clear a "new" bike was on the horizon. I ended up pulling the components from this bike to build up a Guru FliTe frame set that I purchased on Craigslist for $350. I think it was a good deal.

 

What I need from you:


I am going to ride this MS 150 in April 2007, and barring any acts of God, I'll finish. I'm not yet sure how I'm going to raise the $400 donation, but I will. It may end up entirely out of pocket. But I'm not above begging either. So here's my plug. I'll do the training, the bike maintenance, the sweating, the pedaling. I'll keep the site updated. For the first $50 donation, I'll shave my head and post photos documenting the process including a personal thank you by name. Officially I'm asking for $1.

Update

A friend at work came through with a $50 dollar donation. Consequently, as is demonstrated by photos on the home page, I am already shaved. Sorry to disappoint you. However, if you feel compelled, the National MS Society would be more than happy to accept your donation, regardless of my current hairstyle.
