Ditto! Thank you and everyone else for your support and inspiration.

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.
