The JHOP Century Ride date arrived! My goal - complete 100 miles of cycling. This would be my first century. A flat century, no hills, with wind - perfect target. Arriving in St. Cloud at the ride location with plenty of time to spare, my teammate and I geared up [...]
Fall is here! Florida welcomes fall with cooler temperatures, low humidity, and sunshine. This Saturday afternoon I saw the welcome mixed with some rain. Today was the PCC Women on Wheels (WOW) Bonfire Ride. Two club members (Dawn & I) participated in the WOW event sponsored by Peloton Cyclist Club and [...]
Saturday morning June 17, 2017, TeamOne members (Dawn & Diana) joined other cyclists for the Peloton Cyclist Club (PCC) Ride #11. This ride was a little different from the others in that it was a social ride, including a visit to Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. PCC (http://pelotoncyclistclub.com) is a fun and unique [...]
I have written about charity rides, community rides, and instructional rides. There are also those days of just "training". What is that all about? My ride started about 11:30 am with one of my fellow teammates. After the ADA Tour de Cure, the season for hard training was put on [...]
A Day in the Hills?! Another session of instruction, this time in the hills. The day, however, started off with thunderstorms at my house. Bad weather is not the way I wanted to start my day of riding. I checked the weather app – not really helping. It only showed [...]
Cycle Flagler came along on a hot, windy Sunday. This ride gave me the chance to put some of my recent instruction into action!! Last year, one of the highlights was just starting out riding on the airport runway. I took this opportunity to warm up slowly, at a reasonable pace, [...]
Time for more new things to learn. The destination - amazing Tavares, at Wooten Park for the starting point of an instruction session! My first two instructional sessions with Tracy were great, so I decided that it was time for more. This ride was going to be in the hills [...]
What a Ride! Everyone from TeamOne made it!!! Thank you all for making the 2017 Tour de Cure Lake Nona great! You did an amazing job helping me raise over $1,000 for the American Diabetes Association (ADA). You were part of Orlando's TeamOne's efforts which raised over $28,667. TeamOne 2017 [...]
A beautiful, sunny day in Mount Dora, Florida. Perfect setting for some practice. Let me fill you in on something - while I have been riding consistently now for about 2 1/2 years, there are some things that terrify me. Oh, yes...hills, cornering, and downhill speed in general. So I [...]
This year, in preparation for the ADA Tour de Cure, the 2017 Tour de Lake Nona team partnered with CyclingSavvy to offer a safety workshop for registered Tour de Cure participants. I attended in anticipation of learning something new from CyclingSavvy's instructor, Lee Sisselsky. I was not disappointed. The session [...]
Getting up early any morning is not necessarily anyone's favorite thing to do, especially on the weekend. But Sunday, September 18, it was not hard at all. Today was the Ride4Ronald. Ride4Ronald is a bike ride benefiting the 1,700 children and families the Ronald McDonald House serves each year. This was my [...]
A Saturday morning, high humidity, and temperatures would definitely hit the 90's. That was the background for today's ride - 2 club members (Dawn & I) participated in the Women on Wheels (WOW) event sponsored by Peloton Cyclist Club. This ride was dedicated to the female rider and the theme [...]
Welcome, Jimmy V.!!! A few weeks ago on a sunshine-filled Saturday morning, after a ride that several of us take regularly, we made our way to the local coffee shop for some coffee and a bit of breakfast. A nice man asked us about our bike riding, mentioning he saw [...]
Today December 6, 2015, we did a wonderful training ride! It was in support of the Red Rider team for the upcoming ADA Tour de Cure in Orlando. TeamOne participated to show support for the Red Riders. We took a beautiful ride down the West Orange Trail. There were a [...]
Wow ... I love my 5:00 am rides. Except when the time change to set the clock back happens. You would think that having an extra hour is good, and the extra daylight is even better. Right... except when that temperature starts to drop. What do you do in this [...]
