Training and Organizing

The planning phase has turned out to be this massive endeavor, but I am making progress.

I did get a couple of sponsors for bike parts, and the website is coming along.

Meanwhile, the times I don't study Japanese, I train on my mom's bike (lol, don't laugh).
For those familiar with the South Florida area, here is a picture of my training goal and progress. Yellow dots represent up to what point I am now. The 100 kilometer mark is how much I will have to cover per day once in Japan. That's around 62 miles per day.


I plan to tell my parents this weekend. I waited so long in the hope of minimizing the amount of time they will worry about me. But, they have to know, and since it's almost a month before I leave, it's time to tell them the truth.
