Tuma's ride setup

Robert sent a photo of his ride, looks lean and light!  

I need to get mine finalized soon.

Any Bay Area folks have ideas on weather and bike camping ideas?

It's time to focus

So I've got my business off the ground, Liz is handling it with our partner Jon and a great staff.  I can now refocus on the other events at hand.

I recently received a pack of promo material for Livestrong to use for an event.  I also spoke with my partners in the Humboldt Bay Tourism Center and I will be opening our doors and bar to a benefit party.  I am hoping we can do this on or about the first week of July maybe 1st or 2nd.  I hope to offer some small incentives to donate to our cause, I need to get some people on board to help me make this happen.

If anyone has any good ideas, donations as incentives for cash donations or maybe we do an auction... 

Robert has also been swamped as a teacher and coach but will be able to focus some more this month.  I am hoping I can introduce everyone to Robert and of course Tom via Skype or FaceTime during this event.  He will light everyone up!!

Well for now I'll keep training, eating well, sleeping less and doing general preparations.  The Bay Ridge Trail organization will be providing me with some mapping tools, the Bike is getting a small facelift, I will purchase a Spot Tracker for online tracking of our progress.

I'm getting excited and nervous!!!

Charity for Bubba

So Tom called and before I could ask how he's feeling, since he's doing Radiation followed by more Chemo, all I could hear from him was I rode here, I ran there...  He has been doing group rides, running 5k's all while doing his treatment.  Lance did it too only Tom has 40 years on top of Lance when he got Cancer, Tom is amazing.

I got an email from Tom yesterday, it would appear he has selected Livestrong to be the beneficiary of our Charity Ride.  I have called them and hope to hear from them soon.  If anyone has had any experience fundraising for them, please contact me via email at et3surge@gmail.com .

Tom followed up the email today with the following in exactly the same case:
chemo, done today.  nine down, one to go.  May eighth will be the last.  Chemo brain sent this message------------------Tom

LMAO, we had this conversation about Chemo brain, he said when we visited him that while on Chemo he has trouble remembering things etc.  But somehow, his Chemo Brain remembered it enough to mention Chemo Brain, Tom you are one hilarious guy!!
