Good to see you’ve found a way to keep spinning Emily!!! Hoping for rides outside sooner than you expect.

NWG…you’re not a pioneer woman…you’re a good warrior woman ....who possess a determined spirit, an attitude that drives your actions towards your goals. When faced with limitations, disappointment or opposition, a warrior woman only gets more determined to make what she envisions happen.....that you are!!


NY….hoping the lump is just an temporary inconvenience...perhaps fixed by a beautiful leather saddle!!

To celebrate my last cycle of chemo/radiation I postponed it for a few days so I could feel good enough to ride one of my favorite roads that runs parallel to the base of the eastern sierra mountains and to just get back to the desert and it’s peaceful ways. We started at mono lake just after the sunrise and rode towards the Sierra’s and then rode old grade road. A flat 36 mile ride which took most of the day with stops for quick breaks, photography and just absorbing the views. My longest ride in what seems forever and it felt good.

On the drive home we stopped at the Manzanar obelisk which stands for the “place of consolation for the spirit of all mankind”. When there i always say prayers for the recognition of the tragedy that the internment camps were and with the hope of keeping that kind of fear and response from ever happening again in the U.S.
