10 Steps to Pelotonia 2012

Step 1) Attend company kick off event. Hear Pelotonia Founder and CEO Tom Lennox (and fellow colon cancer survivor- yey) give inspiring speech.  
Step 2) Feel bad that you are lazy and have only ever given money and not actual sweat towards cause.
Step 3) Ride full suspension mountain bike less than 2 miles and realize it's a horrible form of long distance transport.
Step 4) Reconsider irrational thoughts of riding any more than 2 miles. Consider giving blood instead.
Step 5) See co workers step up and sign up. Feel guilty. And competitive.
Step 6) Search Craigslist for a bike only slightly bigger and more masculine than pink, banana seat, streamers-from-the-handlebars, Huffy.

Step 7) Visit bike offered by nice, similarly statured (height impaired), man in Grove City. Feel comfortable with size of bike. Ride around block. Buy bike.
Step 8)  Put the newly purchased Trek in garage and don't touch or look at for 2 weeks.
Step 9) Feel inspiration again (see Step 1). Get on bike and ride 10 miles. Realize my ass is going to hurt for months.
Step 10) Sign up, create profile page, and start asking people to give me their hard earned money (puhhhleeeease) for a enormously personal, worthy, fullfilling, noble, impactful cause.
