Lake Michigan Cicle Tour

Well today it became official.  My Lake Michigan Circle Tour is officially a go.  I don't really know what to expect out of this adventure.  My main goal is to raise money and awareness for the World Bicycle Relief, a cause in which I support wholeheartedly.  But to complete this goal is going to take an unbelievable amount of work, dedication, sweat, and a little luck.  Right now I'm feeling nervous but also really excited too.  Maybe foolishly so... but I think I can do it... To be honest I don't know if I can... ask me on any given day and you might get different answers, but without trying I'll never know.

I will continue to update my blog leading up to the ride and hopefully provide updates during the ride depending on computer availability.  I will be updating my facebook and twitter pages so you can also follow my progress there in case I can't get the blog updates going.  My twitter pages is @mattbosman and you can use #BosmanLMCT

 Right now the route is almost done and I will post it as soon as its complete.  I am also organizing gear, nutrition, water, rest stops, lodging and all the other thousands of things I need to do in the next three weeks.  Seems a bit overwhelming but either way on 8/31 when I head out the door I will have 10 back to back centuries starring me down so I better be ready.
