Update

It's been about 3 weeks since my last entry. In that time I've run 46 miles and ridden 163 miles. This includes a grueling 52.5 mile ride into the hills NW of where I live:

I had about 2,000 feet of climbing to do on that day. The climbing is fairly similar to that which we will do on the third day of the trek. In fact, the first 10 miles is the exact same first 10 miles of day 3. Not bad, if I do say so myself. There is less than 2 weeks left until we begin. This week, I need to really focus on putting in some miles on the bike and raising some more money. I'm going to call around to a few businesses/institutions in the area that might be interested and then spend some time next weekend knocking on doors. We'll see how it goes. Speaking of the trek, someone submitted the route to mapmyride. The elevation seems to be a little weird/off, but other than that, you can check to see if we'll be riding close to you by clicking on the map below:

Oh, and a small pic of what our Jersey will look like this year:
