Last evening I finally got myself registered for the 24 hours of Booty in Charlotte.  Its a fundraising event that splits all donations generated with the Lance Armstrong Foundation and the Brain Tumor Fund for the Carolinas.  Two worthy causes that are more than deserving of one’s individual efforts.  The event was originally concieved by a rider in the original Tour of Roses as a fundraising event that has evolved into a signature cycling event in the carolinas.

Last year my friend Ron participated, this year he has formed a team called Big Hare Racing of which I and two others of his friends are members.  And no I have no idea why he chose the name Big Hare Racing for the team.  Im hoping to get to 200 miles on my ride.  Its a pretty big number and a pretty big long shot for me to make it considering how little I’ve trained to this point for the Livestrong Challenge, in the cycling aspect at least.  Ive been running but its not the same.  Starting today Ill be doing 20 mile rides every day until Thursday of next week which Ill take off before Booty begins on Friday.  Hopefully ill be able to “spin” myself up for the ride.

This will be my first major effort in getting myself ready for the Livestrong Challenge rides.
