If anyone is interested in purchasing a 2012 Big Ride Jersey, we are putting in our order this week. You don't have to be a participant to own one-- it's a sharp looking jersey that will help get the word out about this great annual event.

We are ordering both women's and men's jerseys and they are sport cut Primal.

Send me a PM if you're interested and I will add you to the order!

A week ago, I came home from the Big Ride Across America. I am still waking up wondering where I am and why am I not in my bike clothes yet? All the Big Ride alumni I met promised that the ride would change my life somehow. Rip it wide open might have been more accurate, but the heads up was appreciated!

I went into the ride believing it would revolve around the scenery and the places, and came away certain that it had been about my fellow riders and the relationships forged along the way. I cannot recommend this ride enough. Life on the Big Ride was easy, and I long for the simplicity of it all-- ride, eat, sleep, ride, eat, sleep...

From front to back, I lost 3 inches off my waist, a few inches off my hips, and dropped to a size I haven't been since college. All while only losing 6 measly pounds. The gains in muscle mass are significant!

Here are some pictures of my adventure (just look for the redhead):
First flat of the Big Ride in Redmond, WA!
