Sorry, but I've never actively participated in a charity ride and I just decided to do the Tour De Pink (Texas breast cancer awareness ride). I set up my whole online account thingie and sent an email out at work just letting people know what I'm doing. Was nervous about it cause I always think people won't believe I'm really a cyclist (on the chubby side)
I just had a lady from the building swing by with a check
YEAH!!!!

It's what's known at the fitness paradox. there was a New York Times article about that not too long ago. Cycling is a very forgiving sport, it forgives bad knees, age, and weight. Some of the best cyclists I know are slightly overweight. If you think you're an, athlete you are.

Awe, thanks! Originally Posted by zencentury

Hey Paige,
When is yours? Mine is Sept. 8. Maybe we'll be riding for the same cause at the same time.
