In two weeks I jump on my bike and head off for a 75km charity ride for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. I was recently challenged by a group of friends to do the ride at
sportif* pace, meaning 35+km/h. I readily accepted once I found that a friend of mine can't do the ride with me due to injury. The group that I'll be heading out with are the people I raced with last year, but was unable to this year due to surgeries during the off season.
My goal is to complete the ride in under 2hrs. For this to happen our group will need to fall into place and just in case I'll have my secret weapons close at hand.
Lance
Hammer Gel
IPod- loaded with explosive tunes

looking forward to seeing you reach your goal! Wish I could be there doing the ride too... next year.
That's a big bl**dy goal. Good luck with it. You can do it!
Mel- You are with me this year! Next year you'll be right beside me.
Groover- It is a tough goal but with the right mindset and paceline with my friends I believe we can do it. Thanks for the encouragement.
Good luck - may the wind be at your back!
Buttsy- Thanks, I hope it is.
ALLEZ ALLEZ ALLEZ (Imagine the Jones Family cheering and Troupe ringing a cow bell!) Sure it's a big goal but you have a big support group and a big heart. That's all you need!
Donald- I just downloaded some cowbell on my Ipod! I'll have the Jones Family in my pocket for the ride and the image of you all chanting 'ALLEZ!' I'll hammer it!
