I hadn't planned on bringing cookies. Thom's dropping me off and going off to man a rest stop for DMD while I ride. You'll have to do a Diablo ride to get cookies.![]()

Last summer, approaching my 45th birthday, I was in the best shape I'd been in for several years when the diagnosis hit. Even though my symptoms are almost ghostlike, I was still devastated. I didn't know much about the disease or the treatments other than a lot of cyclists supported MS Society fundraisers and that exercise was beneficial. Well, here I am facing my first MS Society ride. I've done lots of organized century rides but this one is different. For one thing, V, Jo, Kim and Yellow have had me on this incredible hill training program and I think I'm in better shape than I was at the end of last summer. The other reason this ride is different is because I'll be surrounded by my new fast friends in both body and spirit. This has been an incredible journey and it is only the beginning.
Thank you all and best wishes to one and all wherever your wheels may take you.

Good luck, good weather, and good riding Team Amici Veloci. $5000, I am so proud of each and every one of you and you All will be in my thoughts as we each do our rides. The ladies of this board were instrumental in convincing me I could do 50 miles, heck I could probably even do 100. Team Amici Veloci inspired me to try it!!
Live long and prosper!!
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"
Oh, you know, the usual ... switching jobs, doing a bit of traveling, causing a little trouble.Originally Posted by snapdragen

As I'm typing this, I'm wondering how many miles you've already cycled. Whereever you are, I'm sure you're having fun and kicking some butt!!
