The Preparation

Preparing for this ride was a two-pronged effort. The first prong involved putting some miles on our wheels to get in shape and prepare to ride such long distances daily. Here's a picture of three of us after we he completed the Davis Double, a 200-mile ride in Davis, CA:

The second prong of preparation had to do with fundraising. Here, Don offers up his body in a "40-Year-Old-Virgin"-type fundraiser where contributors could buy a wax strip to remove his body hair.

CORRECTION: Don wasn't waxed in this photo. Instead, someone donated money to create a razor strip down his chest and belly.
