Research research research

This weekend I attended a workshop all about fund-raising. It was pretty fantastic and amazing. Now, all I need to do is get over my fear factor. People will say yes and people will say no, and it is nothing personal.

I'm also getting into researching sleeping bags and cycling with diabetes. I found some pretty useful things on the Bicycling Magazine website. Once you start looking, you'll find that there are more people out there dealing with things very similar to yourself. One particularly fascinating article is titled "1 Sweet Ride" by Jeremy Katz. If for some reason that link does not work, the url is http://www.bicycling.com/article/0,6610,s-3-12-17839-1,00.html

I recently reached the $1000 mark, right before the long weekend, so I am still waiting to be contacted by the bike shop. Last night I put a "wanted to buy bike trainer" ad on craigslist, and today got a reply. That was fast! There's a furniture store over in Pittsfield that has 2. I hope to get over there soon.
