Last weekend I set things up at Speed Theory (amazing bike shop in Vancouver on 4th ave at Trafalger) and spun on my bike from 10:00am - 5:00pm to raise money for my Cyclebetes adventure this year. The day started off on a great note with my awesome girlfriend bringing two tupperware containers full of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies to entice passer-byes to come on over. 
Once set up was done and the doors were open, I was on my bike spinning away at a constant 60 cadence. 60 is a very slow pace however when you're keeping it constant for 7 hours it begins to play games with your body! One of Speed Theory's Pro Riders, Facundo, spun with me for 4 hours! He did 3 of those at 93-98 rpm, putting me to shame. Nicole also got onto her bike, post 2 hour ride, for one more hour. Rob Herron, aka - The Door Man, bucked up and rode with me for an hour as well. He rode with me 2 weeks ago at Cap Mall and rocked it. People were really supportive throughout the day - I gotta give MAJOR props to the team at Speed Theory as they donated over $100 right at the start. They collected this money from running some spin classes over the past few weeks, charging $2 per person on a drop in basis. Overall, their contribution helped out big time.
People were dropping huge coin throughout the day. Mostly $10's and $20's and it stayed constant for the whole day bringing my grand total for the day to $365!
Thanks to all those that helped out and supported my ride that day making for a fun and supportive fundraiser.
