As many of you know I will be Assault Biking for 12 hours to raise money for The Dream Dealer and all 150+ Kids we take care of in Haiti, they are orphan kids who have nothing. Thank you everyone who has donated! We are over $10,000 raised! If you want to donate please go on thedreamdealer.org and hit that DONATE button.
Last week I did a 2 hour ride at race pace which is 58-59 rpms and just over 700 calories an hour. I ended up ahead of my pace and got to coast out the final 10 minutes and got my 1400 calories in. During a 2 hour Assault Bike Ride A LOT can happen in your MIND, let’s take a journey into my mind for a 2 hour ride!…There’s 2 people who live in there Coach Dan (CD) and Athlete Dan (AD).
