Fortuitous Bouncing

I’ve been giving some serious thought to applying for the Ride:Well Tour for next summer. It is a group of 17 cyclists who ride across America over June/July/early August and help raise money for Blood:Water Mission (they build clean water wells in Africa). I have no idea how I could do it with my job, or how I’d be able to raise all the money I would need to. But I am really tempted to pursue it. Let me know if you have any thoughts for or against it.

It would be an awesome opportunity and BWM is awesome.
I agree with the 40% of Twitter is pointless. But it’s the 60% that intrigues me.
I DARE you to do the bike tour thing…
interesting about that hotel. i remember when i used to frequent their first experiment called The Mission in NE Portland, back in the 80’s. It was kinda underground back then – no advertising, just word of mouth.
