    Hmmm... any Bay Area Girls want to make the drive? Yahoo says it's about 8 hours to 29 Palms from my house. I've always wanted to see Joshua Tree...

    I have that Friday off for Veterans' Day.

    Your biggest challenge isn't someone else.
    It's the ache in your lungs and the burning in your legs and the voice inside that yells "CAN'T".
    But you don't listen. You just push harder.
    And then you hear the voice whisper "CAN".
    And you discover that the person you thought you were is no match for the one you really are.

    The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

    There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

    hi BC! well we sure wish you could come... but we understand, too! how's your mom doing? has she has the surgery yet or is it upcoming!

    hopefully we'll do this again some time when you've been doing some riding and are able to leave your mom for the day (or overnight if you're a camping kind of person!)

    hi Tprevost and Cali!

    Mom's surgery is Nov 16... so the weekend you're riding, I'll be moving her stuff down to my house... she'll recover there for anywhere from 6 weeks to 3 months post surgery. We are very hopeful that this will give her a resolution to the problems she's been having and allow her to return to a pain free/fall free lifestyle.

    I've been riding for a few weeks again... but whew... 3 months off the bike definitely is noticeable... LOL! I also switched to a Brooks saddle... so far it seems much like riding a brick. I'm trying to with hold judgment til it "breaks in" tho...

    Have fun and please post pics! Hugs... BC

    okay, somehow I completely missed the surgery news .... my thoughts and prayers will be with you and your mom (& family). I hope that it will eliminate any problems she's been having....

    Please keep us posted!
