Pre-Sweet 16 Post Tomorrow!! Check out my ride today and BUY A COW!!

My legs have been just achy and somewhat tingly now for about 4 hours after knocking off a 60km ride today (that's about 37 miles), my longest yet in training for Burundi.  More so, the elevation change was a nearly staggering (for me) 761 meters (just under 1/2 mile).  Not sure how many of you know about strava, but it is a great training/tracking tool.  You can check out my ride statistics at:   Today's Ride

The challenge in Burundi is great (heck, it is pretty big everywhere these days).  Yes, my bike challenge, but more so the challenge for Great Lakes Outreach and the people there.  I continue to strongly urge you to consider a donation.  Let's say just another $25 or $50 and with my matching, the Hopski will have a herd of cows producing milk in Burundi!!

WHY DONATE??  


  1. This is a good cause;
  2. The people are personally known to me;
  3. The money gets to the projects (their admin costs are single digits!);


Those are 3 tick the boxes for me when making donations, so please give this more thought as we can certainly bump $375 total to date (though this may overlook your big checks sent directly to GLO!! :)

Better still, send a check to GLO and avoid Razoo's 4.5% fees!!

Back to the brackets and madness tomorrow.  I gotta go lay down!

Speaking of which - 6pm EST deadline for your free entry into the 2nd chance dance!!  2nd Chance Dance Entry
