50 Mi Tour de Habitat
Saturday morning I rode in the Tour de Habitat, a local bike ride to benefit the Habitat for Humanity. I rode this ride a few years ago and was happy to see that it was happening again after a few years off. The Habitat for Humanity builds and rehabilitates homes and brings neglected neighborhoods back to life. There ride began at Druthers Brewing Company in Downtown, Albany. I was doing the 50 mile ride! I was a little nervous because I haven’t been road biking in a while and the last time I rode that far was back in July. Oops. Thankfully, I felt great all day! I brought along…

But now its back to the daily grind! This weekend is the Tour de Habitat, my first cycling event! Thankfully in the past few weeks I’ve gotten in some time on the bike, but 25 miles will still…

Tour de Habitat
I was flipping through the June edition of Adirondack Sports & Fitness Newspaper and came across this. The Tour de Habitat! “Capital District Habitat for Humanity and C.H. Evans Brewing have something in common: an interest in the continued revitalization of Albany. The Tour de Habitat supports projects that make Albany a more vibrant and desirable place to live.” I really love cycling, but I don’t get to do it as often as I would like because running takes over my life most of the time. But, this race is for a really good cause, and I would really like to ride it! There are four distance options: 100 miles,…
