Join me in reflecting and reminiscing about cycling (motorcycle and bicycle), traveling, bird watching, sports and all other adventures in this ordinary life.

By the Number
It is Monday and the Inaugural Pan Hope Ride is history. The emotional high continues. I will run on adrenaline today as I go back to work. I live in the world of data and statistics; so lets look at a few. The Pan Ohio Hope Ride took me along 282.3 miles of roads and trails in four days during 20:31:28 hours. I burned 9880 calories while averaging about 13.5 MPH. During the past four days I consumed some 15 bottles of Gatorade, 12 bottles of water, 8 bananas, 4 power bars, 4 bags of energy beans and two servings of ice cream. All to raise about $3300.00 for the American Cancer Society Hope Houses. No matter how I present the numbers, all personal "records"; I could not possibly capture the magnitude of the personal achievement.
