Well despite this being my first blog post, that doesn't mean I haven't been riding and running! Because of the weather, I haven't been able to bike all that much, most of it being spent indoors on the trainer working out to Spinervals Videos, but those interval workouts are like a 3 hour ride crammed into 50 min! To this point, I have ridden 99.5 miles and run 42 miles for the year, including the past week and a 1/2 where I couldn't do anything due to the Flu.
OF course when I had the flu, just getting up to go to the bathroom felt like running a marathon, so does that count???

HOW IT WORKS!!!
You pledge a donation to me. I need to know how much per 'mile' and what the maximum donation you would like to make is. Thats it! At the end of the year, I will calculate how much you pledged, you send me a check or a Paypal payment and I will send you a receipt from the charity once I receive it!
The 'miles' are calculated as follows (to keep the time involved similar):
1 mile road bike = 1 'mile'
1 mile Mountain bike = 3 'miles'
1 mile running = 4 'miles'
3000 yds swimming = 20 'miles'
You don't need to know me personally to participate, the more money we raise the better! Just email me at pchemdork@gmail.com
Let me know if there is someone you would like me to ride in honor/memory of and I will add them to the wall of fame to keep me motivated and to keep what all this is truly about in perspective!

Challenges!
Got a wacky idea to challenge me to ride/run more this year to really earn the donations other than a simple dollar amount per mile? How about if you want to motivate yourself and want to challenge me to see who can beat their goals by a larger amount!? Let me know!
Corporate Donations!
Because I am now running this on my own, I now have the freedom to run it however I like! Therefore, I will also be accepting Corporate donations.
Here's the deal, if you would prefer to make a donation via your business:
1. A link to your company's website on my blog with your logo and will mention your sponsorship in all updates and mailings
2. A "Riding for a Cause" jersey that I will be wearing will include your company's logo on it. This jersey will be worn at all races and organized rides
3. Any other creative ideas or ways I can help you in return, just let me know and hopefully we can work something out!
