Weekend Hangover

Gunner man:
What an absolutely shitty weekend to ride or get some training in. After a beautiful morning that saw no clouds in the sky and working from 10-2 selling shoes to Tyrrell (he bought these), the skies opened up with rain and lightning as soon as I got off work. This continued for the next two hours and ultimately forced Tyrrell and I to make an executive decision and call off the ride. Yes, a little rain causes a former Marine and a former boxer to giggs out. However, no sooner had we called off the ride the rain stopped and didn't continue all night. 30 miler was replaced by BBQ, backayrds, beers, and 2am bike rides. Perfect summer night in NJ.
Sunday was much the same, after making a mockery of a staff meeting, I was planning on going on a short 10-15 miler. Nothing hard, just something nice and easy. Rain started around noon and was on and off until about seven. Once again, rain forced me to cower inside. Good thing I am not a postman.
However, Saturday was not all a loss as Tyrrell and I kicked around some ideas for the trip next summer. One of the main things we settled on is doing this trip as a fundraiser for wounded veterans and their families. We would pick a charity, and have people sponsor a mile of the trip with a donation (say, sponsor a mile for $5 or more). Since we are riding over 4,000 miles, the intitial value we hope to raise is about $20,000. Of course, this is all in the beginning stages of planning, and we first need to find a veterans charity or non profit to donate the money to. So, if anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to email them to me or post them in the comments. Like I said, we are looking for an organization that helps wounded veterans and their families.

-5 mile ride to the gym
