Less than one week to go...!
Today is Sunday and I leave on Friday. Everyone has been asking me if I'm excited and words can't begin to describe what I'm feeling. Excitement and awe, nervousness and anticipation. I don't look forward to the 11+ hour flight out nor the 14+ hour flight back, but the almost two weeks in between is just breathtaking to me.

I hate colds
My son had a upper respiratory infection last week and now I have it, except I just call it a cold. So along with the stuffy head and general lightheadedness there will be no more riding this week. In fact I doubt I can even go to Kol Nidre services tonight cause I doubt I can handle it.
Next week when I'm back well enough to ride I'll have to push it so I can get my stamina back up. I was going to start going to the gym this week and start a swim regimen but that will have to wait until next week now.
This week, lots of fluids, rest, and feeling sorry for myself.

Changes for my main ride
Just a few more weeks to go and my donations are coming along nicely. Thanks all very much for all the generous checks and donations. A big special thanks to Edwin for the very, very generous donation. It pushed me over the top, though I am still digging for more.
On the biking front I am thinking about changing out my 12/25 cassette for a cheater 11/29 to deal with the mountains in Israel. I can find a standard 12/27 but though my research I think an 11/29 will do me better since I'm not the strongest rider and I want to stay up with the Chalutzim group. Any other bikers out there that has any feedback on my cassette choice? My crankset is a 30/52 triple so the 30/29 should give me a good 1.0 ratio. The only problem is that I think the 11/29 will be a custom job and that might be some $$$$. Ain't nothing in life free.

Just 5 weeks to go...
Thanks so much to all of you that have contributed so far to my cause. It's much appreciated. I'm attaching a picture of most of the Atlanta riders (10 of the 17). I'm sure you can find me.
