The bike challenge...

I've learned that the biggest challenge I face right now is finance. By the time you pay for registration, a bike, helmet, hydration, shorts, shoes, glasses etc. etc., you realize that it's a big investment. So, I'm trying to do this on a shoestring! The bike is my biggest challenge, as ofcourse, it is the most expensive item on the menu. Also, it's winter, and biking outside is impossible where I live. So I do what I can at the gym. But, it won't get me down. I'll keep on fighting the battle.
