Here it is August! This is the month I see if all my bike training pays off. I have logged over 1,600 miles so far this summer and am in the best physical condition I have been in many years. I have found roads in Dane, Green, Rock and Columbia counties that I did not know existed. Thanks to the dairy industry, Wisconsin has paved roads where in most states you would only find gravel. What a beautiful area we reside in! Truly God's creation.
On August 25 I will do the Whitefish, Mt 120 mile ride for Juvenile Diabetes Research. My oldest grandchild is type 1 diabetic and he and his mother (my daughter) will also be doing the ride. They have already raised their $4,000, which is the minimum expected from each of the 200 riders. If you have an interest in learning more, go to http://ride.jdrf.org/index.html. The rider is Robert Gorsuch. And any donation is tax deductible. Hopefully a cure for this silent disease is near.
