my BF is my greatest supporter. he has been cycing for years and was the one that got me into it. we were talking about it the other day and i get frustrated for how slow i seem to be because i compare myself to him, and he told me he's just proud of me going out there and doing it. thankfully he rides with me on his slow days and doesn't complain, just pushes me harder to make me better.

i have a new supporter since this summer. we had a retired refuge manager come up as a volunteer. super nice guy. well he's also into cycling and running. so now we email each other seeing what the other one is up to and "challenging" each other. its quite fun!

and of course i have all you girls here at TE to thank for keeping me modivated though it all. thanks!
