I have a decent mountain bike and I enjoy biking. Some years I bike a lot and some years very little. This summer I have signed up for the Corporate Cycling Challenge through my employer. That is a good thing. The insanity came in when I got caught up in the moment, was inspired by our CEO who signed up for the 42 mile route and I signed up for the 42 mile route. I am not in shape for a 42 mile ride and probaby have not been in shape for that in a long time. Guess I better get in shape, as it is only about two months away. As I have started to get ready for the Challenge, I realized that I needed to get a helmet (I have never worn a biking helmet), and I found a Lance Armstrong Livestrong helmet that I liked (see below). Part of the cost of the helmet gets donated to his foundation, and I like that. I have only had the helmet for my last couple of rides and it already has a pretty sever scuff on the top, so I guess it is a good thing that I have it!
