I did the Heart and Stroke Big Bike today. I hadn’t planned on it, but my company needed the extra person. Basically, you get donations and then you get to ride the 31 person bike. I don’t know if it is a reward or punishment, especially on a day like today. (Nearly freezing temperatures.)
I didn’t know I needed to get donations when I agreed to replace someone. They kept giving me hints on how to raise the money though, mostly by asking friends and family. That thought actually made me sick to my stomach. I have spent so long hating spam, the idea of sending it out was anathema to me.
I donated money myself, and then got the rest from the person I was replacing.
There was a nice BBQ after.
