Enjoying reading everyone's posts in preparation for the June start. Thanks to my good friend Brad who shared his intention to tackle the TD this coming June. After reading dozens of blogs and accounts I was hooked. By Christmas I made the decision to join this amazing ride. Riding outside the past two months has been tough here north of Boston. We can't seem to break winters grip. On the bright side it's provided lots of practice figuring out my foul/cold weather gear. Thanks for all the valuable advice and shared experiences. Looking forward to meeting and seeing everyone in Banff.
