Excitement causes heartburn sometimes! Maybe. Or living in excess, probably.

Bon jeu(r) tou(r)t le monde!.

So I got to thinking. If we're to do this bike ride, we may as well make it really, really worth it. Now I realize adding another dimension to this may strip it of something we were originally vying for, but doing so may also make it more significant. And more bitchin':

Why don't we ride for charity? We've got two months; that means a few weeks to set out proposals for financial backing and sponsors, and a few weeks to canvas. Now I don't know how far I'm going to get (in terms of distance- still waiting to hear from Jankin's to make sure I can have that whole week off- bullfuckinshit) but I'm so into this idea. Not only can we get some karmic happy and social responsibility (and a nasty workout and incredible bond makin, duh) out of this new year's, but a little extra skrill for supplies (ie harder, better, faster, stronger gear??!). Just had a vision of a boombox too, a ghetto blaster if you will, critical mass style.

What do we think? Forward this along to the other non broheme- folks, yeah? Maybe you guys have more of an idea how this works too. I was just chatting with a friend who gave me a bit of hope and direction, and I think we could convince/ charm a few bike shops, bag and gear manufacturers, and maybe even a nonprofit or two. Just ideas.

PS Here's the LifeCycle route- tried and true if less osceanic. Do we have a route planned yet? I'm getting so pumped things are falling from my memory.
