John, Thanks for the pledge page idea. I accidentally found one day last summer when I was looking for fundraising ideas. I myself am a part of Team In Training in Chicago. I just completed my first cycle century in West Palm Beach, FL. I will start training in February for another one in Lake Tahoe, NV in June 2004. I have already started my fundraising for my next ride and will need to raise $3900. I wish you the best of luck in reaching your goal, both financially and physically.
