Donation update

I made it to $750 in contributions last night. I'm so close to hitting the thousand dollar mark, meaning I will be recieving my bike very soon.

Also, on Feb. 15th and 16th (which is next monday) Ruckus Pizza in Cary, NC will be hosting a fund-raising event for me. They are going to donate 15% of their proceeds over the course of 2 full days to Bike & Build! If you are in the area please come out and support a great local pizza joint and help support Bike & Build! We're going to have a lot of fun out there (especially after 7).

Training is about to start ramping up. It's still a little chilly most days, but I'm trying to stick to a training schedule. As soon as the weather turns, and NC stops getting hit with snowfall I'll be making my way up to the mountains to do some training around Hanging Rock. After that, I'll be working my way up to my 65+ mile ride. My actually goal is to be doing two to three 65+ rides a week starting in April! I want to be more than prepared for this trip.

Also, be on the lookout for www.davidjacksonsmith.com to pop up soon. This site will be fully detailed in my experience with this trip.

That's all for now.
