about me

I am a self-defined amateur cyclist, and really have no business riding in a 150 mile bike ride whatsoever. But as the daughter of a person with MS, I also have no business sitting around on my duff while a cure needs to be found, better treatments need to be researched, and an increased quality of life needs to be made possible. So, while holding down a job and hanging out with my husband and our trusty mutt, thus begins my saga of training for Bike MS 2008.

Hot Town

Having Fridays off is a great thing, and I'm fortunate enough to work for a company where the summer schedules allow for us to have every other Friday off.  Of course, this comes with the caveat of having to work 10-hour days on those weeks where our Fridays are free.  The real trick is to avoid the temptation of sleeping in all day to make up for how hard you've worked the rest of the week.

I somehow was able to drag myself out of bed this past Friday morning and get a nice ride under my wheels well before the summer heat sunk in.  I did the home-Forest Park-home loop again, although this time I did two trips around the park path before heading back home.  Felt great, and I probably could have gone around again, but I had to get home to let the pooch out. I'm sure he appreciated it.

In other cycling news, Pat and I put the final touches on the jersey design for the Bike MS ride.  Should be pretty boss.  Once we get the proof from the jersey company, I'll have to find a way to post it on here.  In the meantime, you'll most likely find me on the trainer tonight.  That 103F heat index has me craving an air-conditioned ride.
