The Route

Click here to see the map of the route. You can see the terrain, satelite view, elevations, streets etc.

We covered a lot of ground.

We Did It!

Team Papa! Together we raised over $15,000 for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society: Good job, girls. It was a joy to train and ride with you.

The End Is Near

We had our last official team ride on Saturday. 50 miles. Easy.

Tomorrow we have our un-official biker chicks ride of 30 miles. Easy.

Thursday we begin the trip south. Friday we have carbo-loading pasta party.

Saturday I complete 100 miles. Easy?

I'm $1,000 away from my fundraising goal. That's just $10/mile on event day. Can you help? Donations still accepted!

80 Miles

Ow.

Goodnight!

Details of the ride from my coach's cycle computer: 80 miles; 4,162 feet of climbing; and 4493 calories burned (she said since I rode longer I burned more than that).

I woke up hungry and still a little sleepy. I'm at work and trying to kick my brain into gear. Wish me luck.

The view for 99% of the day:
A beautiful day:
