It begins...Kind of...

Ok everybody. I'm slowly but surely taking steps to accomplish a personal challenge. I will never ride in the Tour de France. I CAN, however, complete the Tour de France distance in my own backyard, so to speak.

Welcome to HomeTown Tour de France. This is a challenge to ride every mile of every stage of the 2009 Tour de France right here in and around San Antonio, TX. I've expanded the idea into a "Grass Roots" style FUNDRAISER for the LANCE ARMSTRONG FOUNDATION.

The idea is that friends, family, and other supporters like yourself can pledge a penny, a nickel, a dime, a quarter or more for each mile I ride. Then, upon completion, donations will be made through PayPal directly to the LAF. The total mileage should be in the neighborhood of 2100 miles, which equates to donations of $21, $105, $210, on up to $525 or more.

Stay tuned for donating details, links to Paypal and LAF, and maps and pictures of my rides.
