The Seattle to Portland bike ride is this weekend. I guess I’m ready. Well, at least as ready as (if not more than) last year.

Last year, I was pretty nervous by this point. This year, because I know what to expect I’m not nervous but rather resigned to the tiredness and pain that will result. And of course the sense of accomplishment.

Anyhow, I’m riding again with a fundraising purpose, but haven’t really gotten around to soliciting money yet. I know, how last minute, right? Those who know me, also know that I hate asking for money. However, Gay City Health Project is a good cause that even I’m willing to suck it up and beg for money on their behalf. Specifically, they provide STD and HIV testing for free and just generally promote a healthy gay community in Seattle by doing things like making free condoms available at bars/clubs, running smoking cessation workshops, and various social activities.
