Training Week 4
So far, I have been the rider with the most mishaps. On the first day my pedal and arm to the pedal fell off. Then on our 6th practice ride a chain of events led to my rear gear change basically exploding into my spokes which led to me not being able to finish the 30 miles or do the next ride the following day. Then on another ride my feet came unclipped and hit the road which made me swerve. While trying to regain my balance I fishtailed and fell on my shoulder, which caused my jersey to get blood stained and the seat on my bike in need of replacement. (Needless to say, we have had our fair share of mishaps so far.) Our last ride was “uneventful” as we finished our longest ride yet: 38 miles!
The longest day that we will have on the actual ride will be 112 miles. Drew says that we will be fine, but I have some trouble trusting him on that.
It has been pretty rainy for the past two weeks so that has definitely put a damper on our riding schedule. But, it looks like it is clearing up, so we should be able to catch up on lost time.
Shout out to my family, Alex, mom, grandma, grandpa, grandma Janice, the Harveys, the Grangers, and of course our sponsors! Thank you everybody and I hope to see you while I’m suffering in the heat and humidity for 600+ miles.

Logan, only you would be able to suffer complete and utter cycling disaster and still come out on top!! We are sure your support team will be there to help hold you together (literally, it seems), and we wish that we were able to be there as well to cheer you on. Know that you have fans in Kenya, thinking about you and wishing you well every mile of the way. Totally proud of you, Logan!
Love,
Uncle Jagger, Aunt Melissa, Savannah, Rowan and Jasper
I will be thinking of you every mile. How about an ice necklace? That would keep you cool, well your neck anyway. Everyone here is cheering you on, and will be following your adventure. Hopefully none of the adventure extends to flying off the bike, or parts flying. I will be checking everyday to see what is posted. Love you bunches.. I am so very proud of you. Grandma
Way to go Logan. As us old folks say – you are so cool dude. We are really proud of you, not only for the bike riding but for the wonderful young man you are maturing into. Good luck on the bike ride, keep up the good work in the classroom and the good reports from staff on your improved behaviors/maturation. We love you and miss you.
Sounds like you are having quite the adventure! So proud of the progress you have been making! Good luck on your upcoming race, I will be thinking of you and cheering you on!
Hugs and Kisses! See you Sooooooon!
