Matz is scheduled to ride 224 miles in 24 hours, starting at 7:00 am April 16 and finishing by 7 a.m on April 17. As he challenges himself with this ride, he is challenging English Department alumni and friends to support the George Mason University English Department through a tax-deductible donation based on the number of miles he rides. For more information on this ride--called a "fleche"--including its rules, route and news about Matz's training for it, click here. On this site you can also donate to the English Department. And on the 16th and into the wee hours of the 17th of April you can follow live updates on Matz's ride on the English Department Facebook page.
