I have kind of been doing this in an informal way, but I am in the process of putting together a bicycling club of sorts. For those of us who are here in the Rockford area, I'll try to encourage you to train and get out and off your couch--at least when the weather is decent. I'll still try to encourage those of you in Texas or wherever, but I'm limited in what I can do for you.
The goal of the moment is to ride together at this year's Door County Century in September. The DCC is a 100-mile bike ride in Door County Wisconsin. For those of you who think that sounds utterly unimaginable, there are shorter routes available as well (but do the whole thing). Really, though, there is plenty of time to prepare and it's not that hard. (It's not a race.)
I'd like to get some team shirts (unless you want to be cool and wear real-life bicycling clothes--totally not my style), maybe see about using it to support some cause.
I've got a half-dozen people who have expressed interest so far. Let me know if you want to join! If you don't know me personally, and you don't want to just leave your information in a comment, you can join our Facebook group.

I'm Back
I am just like Michael Jordan. I am the best there ever was, the best there ever will be. Wait, no, that's not it. I'm like Michael Jordan because I reached my goals, retired, and a little over a year later I have decided to return with great fanfare.
* insert great fanfare here *
I haven't blogged about the Not Celebrity Not Fit Club for over a year, and in that time I have done absolutely nothing to work towards fitness. It's kind of gross, actually.
The one thing that I did do last year, though I never bothered to blog about it, was to attend the Door County Century. I fully intended to do the full hundred miles of the ride, but I wussed out and did the 75 mile route--something I blame entirely on riding my low-end mountain bike instead of a high-quality road bike like everyone else.
Well, I'm doing it again. It appears that I've actually assembled a group of riders already, as I've already got a half-dozen people who say they want to participate. It should be a lot of fun. And, unlike last year, I think I will actually train for the thing. If you would like to join us (or sponsor us), get in touch with me. (If you don't have a better way, comments definitely work.)
