Email to Donors: Finished! - Chasing Daylight Tour 2010

Hello all!

One more Chasing Daylight Tour is in the books and it was a great tour once again. I want to thank everyone who donated to LIVESTRONG in support of the tour. I personally was able to raise nearly $8,000 and our group of approximately 50 people will have a total of approximately $180,000 that we helped raise over the past couple months. I was able to meet many great people who participated in the tour and I also was able to finish without sustaining any injuries!

Over the 8 days of cycling, I breached 700 miles with over 32,000 feet in climbing logged. I was on the bike for nearly 41 hours and I burned over 25,000 calories (equivalent calorie count to approximately 108 Clif bars) with an average heart rate of 138 beats per minute. To see further details of my daily rides, please go to my blog for a detailed analysis.

It appears that many people followed me each day according to the statistics on my blog. Over 1,400 hits were captured from the time I released my blog. I never dreamed there would be that much activity, but I am glad that people found it interesting. I also have a couple guest posts from fellow riders (Steve Mathias from Chicago and Keith Kaetzel from the D.C. Area) that you might find interesting.

Thank you once again to everyone who supported me and the group. It was truly a success and I appreciate everyone’s willingness to come together and support the Chasing Daylight Tour and the fight against cancer.
