In approximately five and a half months I will be embarking on the 
trip of a lifetime.  We plan on leaving North Carolina the last week of 
February.  We will be driving out to San Diego with as few stops as 
possible.  We also plan on spending a day in Henderson NV with my older 
brother.  
Lots of people have asked about my training.  It is pretty 
straightforward.  I ride my bike every day that I can.  I usually ride 
between 30 and 60 miles at an average pace of 18 miles per hour.  Lately
 I have been logging about 150-200 miles per week.  I plan on keeping 
this regimen until Cycle North Carolina, an annual ride across the 
state,  and then ride about 30 miles a day until the end of the year.  
In January I will resume some longer rides, gradually building up.
I need your help to make this event a success.  Please help me get 
the word out to people who would like to sponsor this trip.  Feel free 
to print anything you see on my website or e-mails and hand them out. I 
have a brochure that I have made up to pass out.  I would be glad to 
send you a copy if you are interested in making copies to hand out in 
your area. Also, it would be great if you could organize a fundraiser in
 your area.  My only request is that you would be sensitive to the 
rights and privacy of others.  
My goal is to raise $50,000.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to e-mail me.  I would love top know that you are interested in this venture.
Thanks for your time, have a great day.
Stephen Janes
