Step One Complete!
Greetings. Well it all starts here. Last week I purchased the bike I will riding on for the next 6 months to train, and as well as the 585 mile ride for LifeCycle.
It's a Trek 7100 Hybrid bike which is perfect for the road. Nice and light and it allows me to ride sitting upright which is great for my back. AND IT'S BLUE! Also, I realized this the second day I had it, there's a bell on it. Like an old school bell that has this great
Mr. McFeely-Special-Delivery "ring ring!" when I ride by. I can't wait to annoy everyone on the road with it. If you're buying a bike in the Los Angeles area, I highly recommend Helen's Cycles in Westwood. They totally didn't make fun of me when I walked in and said "I need a bike and I know nothing about them."
The other accomplishment this week happened today when I received health insurance from Blue Shield, which was the last obstacle to being allowed on the LifeCycle ride.
This week I'm hoping to get out as much fundraising letters and emails as possible before I head out to Tuscon, AZ for two weeks for an assistant directing job on a low-budget horror film. The good news is that we'll be shooting in the middle of nowhere and they'll be plenty of road to ride on.
Thanks for checking in and if you haven't yet, please donate to AIDS/LifeCycle by clicking HERE.
I haven't named it yet, but I'm thinking "Bob The Blue Bicycle." We'll see how it fits.
Best,
