America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride

I took it upon myself to train for an endurace event this spring with the Leukemia and Lympomia Socitey's Team in Training. They have people participate in endurance challenges to help raise money for this important cause. Please check out my event website for more information. www.active.com/donate/tntenc/CWHarris.


It's two days till the race, and I am here in Tahoe getting use to the altitude. 100 miles around the lake will difficult, but I am excited. I have been training for months and feel ready.


The Big Day


A Teammate from Raleigh and I on the Lunch Break.




The race went well; I finished 100 miles in 6 hours and 15 minutes, not counting the rest stops. The hardest part was after 80 miles there was a steady uphill climb that took 45 minutes.





Just after the finish. Exhausted, but feeling good. I would love to do it again, just not tomorrow.





The event raised 8 million dollars thanks to all of you who showed your support through donations.
