It's April! (almost)

Hi all,
So I've slacked off a little bit on the posting. I have received my bike, and it's fantastic. For those of you who are interested in bikes, it is a Giant Defy II. It is absolutely amazing, and I love it. It's so much easier to ride than my mountain bike.
I'm doing excellent with my fundraising. I am now up to $2,200, with more hopefully coming in after today. I presented my research on affordable housing today in a poster display at my school's Community Scholars Day. I think it generated a lot of interest. People were coming to talk to me about it all day.
I've been working with my local bike shop, ATA Bike, to properly fit my bike for me. They have been wonderful, and have taught me so much about bike care and maintenance and bike products. The only thing that my bike should need now is a shorter handlebar. When I ride for more than 10 miles, my elbows really start to hurt. The distance between the bars is too great, and I'm not able to bend my elbows enough. It's an easy fix, and should make a big difference in my riding!
Thanks to all who supported me today at the Community of Scholars Day! I had a great time talking with all of you.
