    Default begging for money!

    I thought I'd see how it feels to be a worthless lefty for the day, and beg for money.

    Pardon me, can you spare any change? Does anyone have any money they can throw my way? Well not exactly my way. It's for a local charity, First Descents.

    On August 3rd, I'll be riding the spectacular "Copper Triangle" in support of First Descents, suffering through the nearly 80 mile loop that crests three mountain passes - Fremont Pass (elevation 11,318'), Tennessee Pass (elevation 10,424') and Vail Pass (elevation 10,666'). Let me just say that cycling the length of the Vail valley and then up Vail pass, after 60+ miles, is nothing short of torturous....

    First Descents is a non-profit organization that provides outdoor adventure experiences to promote emotional, psychological, and physical healing for young adults with cancer. If you or a loved one has battled cancer, you well know it can be very difficult emotionally and physically, breaking the spirit and confidence of the patient, even after treatment is over. First Descents does their best to rekindle all of these things at once. It really is a cool program.

    If any fellow members would be willing to contribute, or wants to ride with me, please let me know. Myself and everyone at First Descents would truly appreciate it!

    Better hurry up and get into shape there Joe, last time I saw you you were very out of shape.

    Yes Matt, I am unequivocally stating that that is not me. Here I am, although I will be riding my road bike, not my mountain bike for the aforementioned torture test.

    Default begging for money!

    Is it possible to ride just part of the route with you? My current long rides are ~30 miles.
