A 99 mile weekend!

This weekend I biked a total of 99 miles with my dad (my mom biked 53 of them with us). We biked 10 on Friday, 53 on Saturday and 36 on Sunday. What a great way to spend my long Easter weekend! When you add the 15 miles I did during the week thats a 114 mile week! I know that nothing compared to the mileage I'll rack up this summer, but I think its a good start.

The 53 mile ride was fine. I didn't even notice the extra 10 miles (the furthest I'd done before this was 43).

The 53 miles ride was an organized ride with Bike's East in Charlotte. Before the ride I passed out little cards with my name, a blurb about Bike and Build and information on how to donate. I gave my little sales pitch as I passed them out. Everyone was polite, and a lot of people seemed interested. One guy gave me a $20 on the spot!

For the 36 miles on Sunday we biked form my parent's house in North East Charlotte to my Grandmother's house in West Charlotte. Talk about urban cycling! On the way there we tried out some of the new Greenways Charlotte is building. They are very nice and conveniently located. I really enjoyed biking through the city, and I'll definitely do it again.

I surpassed my goal for the week, and am well on my to 800 miles. I now have biked 441 miles total!
