Ten Days to Go

Hello all,

Mike and Tyler here writing you after returning from a great training ride this morning that took us from campus out to Montville, down to Nyantic and back to Conn. It was a beautiful 30+ mile ride on a beautiful sunny morning. If you want, you can check out our loop here.

Today's ride was our fourth or fifth solid training ride and we are already beginning to feel more comfortable climbing hills and have shaved off some of our time. We've been lucky to have such wonderful weather the last couple weeks (aside form that crazy hurricane that dampened things up for a day or two) and we've taken advantage of the season by biking to several farmstands for a quick break with a delicious peach.

Our fundraising efforts are coming along great! We've almost reached our goal of 5000 dollars with a couple of recent generous donations. However, we could always use some extra support (and so could our environment) so if you know anyone who might be interested in giving, tell them a little about who we are, our ride, and you can direct them to this website. This is our team donation site where you can give easily to support both Tyler and Mike.

We've also recently ordered our Jerseys and Shorts, clad with the business and sponsor logos. When we receive them, we will take a picture of us riding/chillin decked out in our Climateride gear and post them here for all to see.

Thanks so much for all the support and we will try to update this site as frequent as possible. More news to come!!!! Have a great Wednesday afternooon!

-Tyler and Mike
