Hi to All!

Thanks so very much for responding and for your continued encouragement!

I was talking to my sister tonight. She has seen me endure severe limitations over the years. I'd told her I was riding. She was "stunned!" She could not believe it! She'd said she never thought she'd see that again! She had asked me how I'd gotten back into riding... I told her about TeamE! She is both shocked and pleased!

I told her the "team" made the difference. The team inspires me. The team challenges me to "do it anyway." I'd so vividly recalled the sensations of riding a road bike... I had never forgotten these sensations. I've wanted to bike and to run so very much every single day of my many years of disability.

Once I could no longer run, I'd watch others go by, running, and would feel so incredibly sad. The desire has never left.

So.. this was a very potent mix... my desire to ride and the encouragement of the team. Just the right combination at the right time! It was "magic!"

Thanks to all for your continued encouragement and your very kind words!
I'll do my personal best for the team!

With Appreciation,
Julie
