Ditto! Thank you and everyone else for your support and inspiration. Originally Posted by snapdragen

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.

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone! Those that have met me, I'm no longer a red head or a blond -- look for the light brown haired snap...

SK- Thank you for doing this wonderful ride. I am totally inspired by you! I wish I could be there in body, but I am definitely there in spirit. You go, girl!
I didn't realize that you had been diagnosed with MS. Dave's(my partner)sister has MS and she is really having a hard time getting around.
Your commitment to keep on going is just awesome to me. Thank you for your wonderful spirit. You are a gift to all women!

V- I just figured that you always had cookies for the end of a ride!
Have a good ride and thanks for all your work, too!

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
