That’s right y’all, despite being a total amateur who has only been in the saddle for a few short months, I’m riding my bike from Denver to Tulsa. I’m doing so to raise some money that will wind up in the pockets of artists, and the professionals who support them. Starting September 20th, it will be just me, two wheels, two legs, a SAG car, and ~680 miles of open road. It could take me 9 days (unlikely), it could take me two weeks (more likely), I could get hit by a car and never reach my destination (probable). You just never know.
I'll be providing updates along the way, so you can watch my suffering in real time. I'll be posting how my pitiful attempts at training have left me woefully unprepared for the task at hand. Watch as my smug simper turns to wistful whimper. I'll probably even cry. A bunch. All for a good cause!
I really hope to raise as much money as possible, but 10k seems like a good starting place. I hope you’ll consider donating to a great cause. Hopefully we can raise even more than the goal. Give whatever you want, but if you feel like doing this in a more structured, didactic way, here are some suggested donation levels:

“Broke in Solidarity” (penny/mile) - $6.80
“Lunch Ride” (nickel/mile) - $34.00
“Dinner Ride” (dime/mile) - $68.00
“Nightcap with a chance for Breakfast Ride” (quarter/mile) - $170
​
(Note: There is no mechanism here for you to actually donate based on the actual miles I ride, so you’ll have to donate the lump sum, and cross your fingers that I’m able to complete the ride.)​
