New Bike!

I bought the Trek Equinox 9.  It was the best value I found for the components and frame. 

I upgraded the wheel set as well.

MS150 Update and Photos!

What an amazing experience!  Over 2,000 riders of all ages headed out from Frisco, TX to Ardmore, OK last Saturday for the 2005 MS150 (5/14/05).  It is difficult to explain how awesome it feels to be around so many that are dedicated to raising money for a great cause.

Thank you so much to those that sponsored me for the ride!  I have raised $3,202 towards my goal of $3,500 and have until June 17th to finalize the donations.  If you would like to donate on-line, please do so here.
