This coming weekend will mark the start of my unnecessary self-assigned challenge. 30 days, 30 bicycle rides, 30 blog entries. If you want to follow my struggles and failures then I'll be blogging and also posting on this thread. All blog posts will be short and low quality or your money back. The 1st one is up on now. Feel free to comment on my failures as I go along.

I think I might be tuning in for this. Can I rely on you to post here every day to remind me to visit the blog? I would hate to miss anything.

Good work. I'm enjoying it.

If it where a Biblical level of sacrafice it would be 40 days, as per Lent. Alternatively you could just sacrafice yourself and rise from the dead in an accelerated 3 day timetable. That may be more of a challnge to pull off successfully.

BTW enjoying the blogs so far including the religious gags, not something you see too often 8)
