7 days of sitting on a bike...who wouldn't want to do that?

While I have to admit the reminder that I'll be sitting on a bike seat for a week is not the best part of this ride.....the people, the views, and the cause make it more than worth it!

I wanted to thank you all for joining me (virtually) and supporting me on my journey from San Francisco to Los Angeles on Sally (my snazzy blue bike.) Without your support I would not have been able to make the trip. Thank you again for keeping me going on the ride! Click here to see my AIDS/Lifecycle site.

I'll share the coastline views - many picture uploads to come - and stories about the people I meet and of course my graceful falls (clips can be tricky.) Hopefully I'll be able to access the internet daily to provide live updates.

So...here we go! Riding my bike off into the sunrise on Sunday, June 6!

3 Weeks to Go!


Michael and I went out to Point Reyes on Saturday to work on my hill riding. I have the opposite problem of most riders - I'm great going up the hills...down hill on the other hand. I go slower than most people walk. The brakes have become my best friends and I don't let go!

Nancy (one of my fellow Gappers) - gave me some pointers that I put into action and I have to say after Saturday I am doing much better!

And...I don't want to disappoint. I did manage to fall off my bike - AGAIN! This time gracefully knocking my dearest bestie - Michael - into a wood post. It was all with good intentions though - there was a loose dog running around and I was trying to rescue him and forgot my foot was clipped in!

Another pointer for the ride - I must un-clip before trying to get off my bike!
