Still in the very early stages of planning both my fund raising events as well as putting together a bit of training plan for myself.
I want to thank Pictou Lodge Beachfront Resort http://www.pictoulodge.com located in Pictou Nova Scotia for their donation of a nights accommodation and meal valued at $250.00. This certificate will be part of the prize package that we will be selling tickets on starting hopefully in the next couple of weeks.
As far as the training plan, the next few months will be focused on building my aerobic endurance combined with some basic strength training, in order to prepare for the spring summer outdoor road work. My buddy has promised to put me through what he described as the "hurt locker" on some long rides over the spring and summer. Not really sure what that means but pretty sure it is going to hurt! Better pick up some of those bike shorts with the padded butt.

JDRF Cyclebetes Maritime Team
The Maritime Provincial Team for the JDRF Cyclebetes Relay has now been selected. You can meet the team at http://www.cyclebetes.com//follow/follow.php?pageID=77.
This is my first time participating in this type of event. I am really excited about participating and feel this is one concrete way for me contribute to helping find a cure not only for my daughter, but for others that also live with Type I diabetes everyday. If you can, please donate on-line at http://jdrfca.donordrive.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.participant&eventID=777&participantID=44593
I hope to keep everyone updated as to my progress over the next few months while I train for the event as well as fund raise along the way. The plan is to use this blog to report updates and share some stories that hopefully will be interesting and know me most likely funny.
As I move forward I will be tapping into some great resources for advice and support. One of those is Jim Currie. Jim has been involved in a couple of very long distance cycle relays (last years was from British Colombia to Austin Texas) to raise funds for Cancer. Checkout http://www.givetolive.ca/
OK that's it for now.
