Where does all the time go?

Well it's been almost two weeks since my last posting. YES, I have been riding, although not as much as I would like. But I have put in a couple of 60 mile rides and five 30 mile rides along with a couple of days in the gym. Of course the weather has been unseasonably cold, and we've been spending quite a bit of time following up on the hail storm damage. Our adjuster says we need complete new roofs along with the replacement of some air conditioners, repainting about a third of the building, broken windows, broken outdoor lamp globes etc. It's amazing what damage a golf ball size hail can cause. Anyway back to cycling.
Only 53 days left before I fly Virgin to the U.K.  By now my legs are rock solid and I'm holding my weight around 140 lbs. The real test now comes in getting a couple of 100 mile rides in (which if you haven't yet figured out takes approximately 9 hours of riding - a full day). For those in the metro Jackson area, we're planning a little Bon Voyage party on May 22nd. Free appetizers and complimentary first drink to those who stop by and make a small donation to the charities. The party is from 5-9p.m., so if you feel the urge, please stop by and wish me luck! Thanks to all of you who have donated to the charities to date. I am truly grateful for your generosity and support! I have booked some of my accomodations, but need to finalize them all on Monday. Now busy getting ready for over 400pp visiting us for Easter Brunch. Happy Easter and/or Passover to all. More soon.......
