I re-directioning this blog.  Actually I am now giving it a direction since it had none before.  So here it is...

I am going to ride TOSRV 2010.

It will begin on May 8th, 2010, 88 days from this post.  TOSRV is a 200 mile, two day ride from Columbus, Ohio to Portsmouth, Ohio, along the valley inhabited by the Scioto river.

Actually it may be a half TOSRV.  They have a half TOSRV from Chillicothe, Ohio to Portsmouth and back, but that's not what I plan to do.  I'll ride the full length on day one, and that's it.  Still for a person of my experience and conditioning, that's a very uphill path I have to take. The longest I'v ridden before was just over 27 miles.

I'll be riding with my friend Steve and about 2000 other unnamed folks. I've ordered a new bicycle that should help a little, and maybe inspire me to earn that bikes respect.

Each day or so I plan to update my progress and reveal my plan to make myself capable of this acheivement.  Tonight's plan is to restart this blog and to ride 1/2 hour on the 30 year old exer-bike upstairs.

Thus I begin.
