Why It’s Important

I snapped this photo in the parking lot of my hotel last year at the 2007 Philly LIVESTRONG Event. The owner had this on his vehicle along with a lot of other eye-grabbing stickers. You know, these events always produce a lot of merchandise to accompany and promote their existence. [...]
The ladies of SCAG did ride today, but the 1000 does not refer to the highest elevation point on said ride. No, that would be the number of miles I have now logged for the year 2008. Actually 1015.2, and yes, anyone who reads this blog knows we are counting and why. I’ll leave all [...]
Commuting to work on the bike has all sorts of bonuses: staying in shape, saving wear & tear on the vehicle, saving on gas, and prepping for LIVESTRONG. Today was only the second day I commuted to work, but I need to figure out the best way to fill the tank before and after I [...]
After trial ride #1 and trial ride #2, I have finally made it official. I commuted to work by bike today. The attached elevation graph is for the ride in. I really missed not having the bike camera, but I did get to work in 59 minutes. Maybe not stopping for pictures was a good [...]

Today I headed west out of the driveway, and that meant only one thing…hills. Don’t get me wrong, I love hills. Going up as well as racing back down. Which is a good thing because from what Karen has been telling me about LIVESTRONG Philly, there will be a lot of them. According to the [...]
It is a beautiful day today, yet I chose to ride indoors again. I walked out onto my patio at 10am and felt all 33 degrees and decided no–I did not want blue toes again. I still need to get those chemical toe warmers and booties, but I haven’t yet, so I chose the snug warmth [...]
I was heading out on the bike to run some errands, and this little guy decided to let me know I was interrupting his meal. He obviously does not recognize me as the one who fills the feeder.
I have been trying to come up with some fund raising ideas for LIVESTRONG. The message boards have [...]
