Wow, time is kind of flying by.

Yesterday, most of the riders and I had our first "conference" call - it was this MSN-like program, but with more features. It was kind of cool "meeting" everyone... the face-to-face introductions will be better and probably less chaotic!

Fundraising-wise, a few other ideas have been created. The benefit concert mentioned earlier may no longer happen, but in its place, an auction! I've managed to get quite a few guys who have volunteered to be sold as handymen! Pretty funny, but I'm sure I'll get quite a bit of money from it. Planning the whole thing is a lot of work, and it's really difficult to prioritize everything (balancing school, tour, training, work, soccer, etc is crazy!). Obviously, homework is first, but it's hard to concentrate on any one task when I'm thinking of doing another! If anyone wants to be my personal secretary, let me know ...

It's awesome having Angie as one of the other riders. We've been banking off of one another, which keeps us both in check! I met Cody, a new member to the team, yesterday. He's been on quite a few tours, and we're going to bike around this town once my bike's ready to rumble ... it doesn't have pedals yet haha.

Thanks to Brian for his donation, and Marri and Naomi for their help with the auction!
