Zoo-De-Mack

IT'S BOOKED!!! Oh my goodness, what am I getting myself into?! The Zoo-De-Mack is a 51 mile bike trip from Boyne Highlands to Mackinac, they say 6-7 hours to complete. Serious training starts tomorrow thanks to my cousin Rachel! Hard core cardio class on Monday nights and 2 days a week with her will hopefully get my endurance up and I can complete the entire 51 miles! I'm super excited too that I am doing it with Andrew, my brother and some great friends - Meg, Ben & Val and hopefully my bro-in-law, Bill, will make it along too!



This is what I'm looking forward to, some of the most beautiful scenery in Michigan! Following along Lake MI, riding high on 400' bluffs, and riding through the forests, it's going to be gorgeous!! And I love having a goal, something to strive for! I think when you have an end result it makes it that much easier to accomplish your goals. I've been wanting to get in the gym more and workout harder but never really had anything motivating me to push myself harder, now this is it!! I have in my mind that I will complete the entire 51 miles and I want to prove to myself that I can!

The other part of this is the party! Friday (yes people party the night before) and Saturday night are huge parties for all the riders and their supporters! Should be a great time if I'm able to move!!

Wish us luck and you will be updated after the completion on May 20th! Hopefully I'll be able to type, but probably won't be able to walk :-)
