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.

So I've been busy...

Maybe my last post was in May. Maybe it was even nearly 2 months ago to the day. The point is, I've been a busy bee. And by busy, I do mean just that, but I also mean that I've been a horrible trainee. Sure, I've gotten in a training ride here and there, as well as some work on the stationary trainer, but I'm not 150 mile-ready - yet. It's never to0 late to turn over a new leaf of discipline. Anyway, for your viewing pleasure, here's some documentation of the nonsense I've been up to as of late:

training ride in St. Jacob, IL


campin' with the dog


Katy Trail with Mom and Dad

and...

killer storm in Omaha, NE!

Speaking of nonsense, Iwas also up to some of that this evening. I actually hopped on the bike, and did an urban ride that took me through Forest Park, and ended up at the happiest of places - the Maplewood Dog Park, with both husband and dog awaiting my arrival. It wasn't a long ride, but at least it was something.
