Here We Go Again!

So last year, I issued "The Pastor Challenge" to try to raise money for the Assist Pregnancy Center. The challenge was this: I would challenge myself to do a "Metric Century" bike ride (100 kilometers, or 62 miles) in 4 hours, and I challenged folks to donate more money than we've ever raised for the Pregnancy Center. Last year, I am happy to say, we succeeded on both counts!

So this year, I'm doing it again - but bigger than before. My challenge this year is to do a full Century bike ride (100 miles) in 6 hours, and I challenge folks to raise at least $10,000 for the Lutherans for Life team in the Walk-Run-Ride for Life. This one's going to be tough, for me, at least. That's a looooong way! I think I'm in better shape than last year, but we'll see - I'm also a year older! I went out Friday for my first long ride of the year, a 50 miler, and did okay for the first 35 or so miles . . . then it was survival. We'll see how it goes.

And here's an added incentive: we are applying for matching funds from the LCMS, up to $10,000. So (hopefully) all donations up to that amount will be doubled!
