Have you ever managed to cut yourself a good one with the serrated edge of a box of plastic cling wrap? Have you ever done it on your stomach?

Unrelatedly, my summer's not over. In fact, Drexel only begins its break on Labor Day. Because of this, I'm down to just one job for most of September, and I've been spending it goofing off and riding. In fact, I've got a moderate sunburn from riding down to Atlantic City two days ago. Corri met me down there to drive me home, but not before pizza and an ocean foot-soaking. Maybe I had a tailwind, but it was a pretty easy 55 miles; I'm feeling more confident than usual about my upcoming ride.

What ride, you ask? Oh come on, are you new here?

bensmsride.com

Thanks again to Manning for building (and hosting) the redirect, making it easier than ever for you to remember how to donate, should you be unable to click that link right now. I mean, you can even type "Ben's MS ride" (no quotes) into google and it's the first hit.

In case you are new, here's the basics: Twice a year I bike in a non-competitive event to raise funds for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. These funds go to help the victims of MS and their families, as well as support future research into the disease. MS is a deadly ailment about which much is still unknown, including specific causes, and, unfortunately, a cure. I hope to be part of a movement that eradicates, or at least tames, MS. But I can't do it without you.

Donate any amount that you can; your generosity is always appreciated. You can read more about the disease and my ride by following the links on the donation page.

As always, thanks in advance to any and all who donate.

The last weekend of this month.

I seem to remember a time when I would fund-raise for two months or so. This year I feel like I'm earlier than usual because I've got almost three weeks.
