Day 23 opportunity

When I first contemplated 23 days of Tour for Life, one of the big concerns was the length of time.  What will happen physically, mentally and emotionally?  How will I cope with the cumulative fatigue?  To give me the best chance of lasting to the end, I needed to raise the stakes to finish.  Here is what is planned for day 23 (providing I last that long.)

1. Day 23 will start on Sunday (July 26) at 7:30am.
2. It  will conclude on Monday (July 27) at 7:30am at the NKMB parking lot at the corner of Springfield Road and Gateway.
3. A number of individuals/foundations/businesses have together pledged to donate to MCF $68.00 (so far) for EVERY km I ride on that last day.  That is quite an incentive to ride.

For example:  If I ride 500km x $68.00, MCF will receive a donation total of $34,000.00 for food.  That means 340 kids.  If I ride more, more will be donated.   This is quite an opportunity.

Please pray for:
1.  My energy level to return.
2.  A warm and windstill day on Sunday
2.  No flats and no bike troubles.

Please also note the drought crisis at MCF and Kenya as a whole.  They have never needed our prayers and help more than right now. 

We will have as many progress updates as possible on Sunday.  All riding will happen on Henderson north with the possibility of also riding on Hwy. 202.  But I have to make it to Sunday first...
