Kilometers Cycled: 0 km
Day 1:
Staying within budget.
Technically, it's still Day 1. Finding an affordable used touring bike, or even a used road bike has been tough. I contacted friends; friends of friends; cycling contacts of friends - all to no avail. Tomorrow begins my work week so I will work local and ask the teachers who live around here for at least a bike with gears. I really do need to work with a budget. My dream would be a sponsor for this. I'm not sure how to go about doing that, but that will be my mission while looking for a bike. Sponsorship proposals, here I come!
Training.
Given that I do not have a bike yet, I jogged 6 miles and 3 or so hours of Pencak Silat. I do understand that biking would be the best. I'll make up for it when I get a bike. With regards to nutrition, "I feel like terrible" (Bear Grylls). My only saving grace today was my morning bowl of oatmeal. I later ate some delicious fried chicken, white rice, instant noodles, and had a coke.
Thoughts.
I'm still really geared for this. I must find a bike by mid-week or I'm certain the lack of progress will do a number on my spirit.
