Pink Pedal Pushers FinishStrong

Well, we all headed out from the hotel at 5 this morning (no sleeping in late on this trip) to participate in the Livestrong Challenge Ride.  There were about 3500+ cyclists riding various routes from 10, 20, 45, and 65 or 90-mile courses on beautiful but windy day.  The coolest part was getting to ride with some of our support folks – way to rock out the 45 miles Jessica and Sally.  And just when I thought my crying was done, it started up again on the ride as I made sure to speak to every survivor I passed.

There were very cool sag (rest stops) on the route but the best was Mellow Johnny’s which included an espresso bar and beer keg!  I also managed to have two flat tires on the ride but it was all good because I at least flatted on the top of a hill!

However, say a few prayers because there were many wrecks on the course today, including two cyclists who hit a deer and they needed to be transported away by an ambulance.

I have decided the worst part and the thing that has frustrated me the most of this whole ordeal – the male cyclist shave their legs more than I do!!!!!!!

Well time to shower, grab some dinner tonight, post-ride party at Lance’s bar and then early flight home to South Carolina.  I am very homesick and miss Peter and my kids .

Pink out until next year…………..
