Finished Ride Ataxia NorCal on May 16th!

Hello Everyone,
I have been too busy enjoying more bike rides to let you all know that I successfully completed my 100 mile bicycle ride in the lovely foothills around Folsom and Grass Valley California!
We had a great time, the camping was not as bad as I dreaded, and I was sufficiently prepared to ride all the hills. I purposely took it easy, in order to be able to finish all 100 miles.
I am happy to announce that all of us riding that weekend raised $100,000 for finding a cure for Friedreich's Ataxia!!!!!!
Thank you all so very much from the bottom of my heart!

Another beautiful day in Paradise

Hello Everyone,
I rode for one hour and forty minutes from my house to Grizzly Peak, Skyline, Montclair and back on Sunday. No clue how many miles that is, but it was a beautiful day and I had lots of energy. I am looking forward to riding with 130 other riders on May 15th, 16th, 2010!!!!

Completed Marathon, ready for bike ride!!!!

Hello Everyone,
I am so happy to have completed the Oakland Half-Marathon in March standing up and smiling! Now I am training for Ride Ataxia on May 15th and 16th. I am riding up in the Berkeley Oakland hills and getting stronger. Last Saturday, I took my niece Sophia on a trike ride from Point Isabell to Richmond Harbor. She loved it and was stronger than we anticipated!
I am so happy that she can ride her trike! If only we lived closer to each other, we would ride every weekend......That trail is so nice, cause it is car-free and relatively flat.
Who else will ride from Folsom to Auburn? It would be great to chat..... I booked a room at the Hilton for the 14th, which will be fun....especially given the next night will be a little less comfortable in the tent....

Countdown to Marathon!

Yes, I like to just say Marathon instead of Half-Marathon, it sounds cooler.......Been running and strength training and hopefully am ready for Sunday. It is Oakland's first Marathon in 25 years and it will hopefully give Oakland a better reputation!
After I am done with that, the bike riding will begin! Anyone up for training with me?

Half Marathon in less than 3 Weeks!

Hello Everyone! I have been training for the Oakland 1/2 Marathon for the past few months. I am going to wear my FARA cycling jersey because I don't have a running jersey with FARA on it yet.....Any ideas?
Anyone out there also running in the Oakland Marathon who wants to wear FARA clothing?

Training Begins for Next Ride

Welcome Back Everyone,
I am signed up to run the half Marathon in Oakland on March 28th, 2010!
This will also be getting me in shape for the next Ride Ataxia.
Anyone want to join me?
