Hello friends,
Looking for a new adventure during the cold dark days of February? I’ve got just the thing.
Join me in riding the Tour of Sufferlandria!
What is the Tour of Sufferlandria you ask? Only the most incredible indoor bike riding event of the most glorious mythical nation on earth. Riders from all over the world gather their courage to not only challenge their physical limitations but to raise money to benefit the Davis Phinney Foundation, dedicated to helping people with Parkinson’s live well today!
This year the tour runs from Sunday February 27 through Saturday March 5.
So it’s a great experience for a great cause.
OK, I know what you’re thinking…
“I’m not a bike rider!” The Tour is not a race. You don’t need to be a super powered cyclist to enjoy it and have fun. You just need to make the time.
“It sounds painful!” Don’t be put off by the name. Is it challenging? It can be in that you’ll be active for seven days in a row. Will you suffer? That’s entirely up to you. The great thing about riding the tour is you’re in control of how hard you go. The tour even has levels of participation.
“I don’t have the time.” Well, this is something we all struggle with. Riding the tour means you’ll need to set aside about an hour a day for seven days. Certainly not easy. But I imagine if you look at your daily schedule and plan ahead, you can reserve this time for yourself and make it work.
“Will it really be worth all the effort?” YES! The workouts are fun, entertaining and engaging. You’ll find the time passes by quickly. The Sufferlandrian community is AMAZING! Super supportive, talkative and funny. It’s one of my favorite parts of the tour. You’ll be supporting a great organization in the Davis Phinney Foundation. And when it’s all done, you’ll be able to bask in the GLORY of your amazing accomplishment.
“Hmmmm. Maybe.” Whoa, we’re halfway there! Come on! I’m inviting a large group of people to join me and we’ll create our own team to give each other support along the way. So feel free to invite friends!
To join the tour, you will need a few things.
1. A stationary bike of any kind. Peloton, old exercise bike, your regular bike on a trainer, even the stationary bikes at the gym. Any stationary bike will do.
2. A laptop or tablet with internet access.
3. The Wahoo SYSTM app – this is how you get the workouts that make up the tour. You can get a FREE 2-week trial subscription, so no cost to you.
So what do you think?
“Sounds like a blast! I’m in!”
“Maybe. But I have some questions”
“Eh. I dunno. I’m not so sure.”
HOPE TO SEE YOU ON THE TOUR!
Yours in Suffering,
Pete
