Despite this being my fourth Tour de Cure, each time the ride comes around I’m always nervous I’m going to forget something or be late or something (this year I forgot sunscreen, thankfully a teammate had some to share). With the generosity of my extended team, we were able [...]

What a wonderful day to ride! Thank you all for making the 2018 Tour de Cure Orlando great! You did an amazing job assisting me in raising $1,230 for the American Diabetes Association. This was a tough year to ask for donations considering all the major tragedies that happened [...]
Three years have passed since I have ridden with my brother. He came out a little over three years ago. I was just picking up cycling at the time, and he had given me some tips along with the best advice - just have fun! Now three years later I [...]
Time for a new bike fitting! A professional bike fitting - so many people have no idea what this means or what it can do for you. Let me explain what it meant to me and my riding. I had been saving up for a professional bike fitting with MotionFit. [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
This was my first time riding Cycle Flagler. I've heard about it from my teammates and I was very eager to do the ride for myself. I and my family came up the day before and spent a really fun day in St. Augustine first, capped off by a nighttime [...]
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, [...]
On April 29, 2017, I participated in my second Tour De Cure in as many months. What a great day it was to ride in San Diego. The course I chose for the San Diego Tour de Cure (TdC) was the metric half century (31 miles). It was more challenging [...]
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 [...]
