Amy and Rita

A fun filled day spent with Southern Tier sistas, Amy and Rita in Minneapolis

Starting my adventure

Spent last night in Oakland so I would not be stressed
needed to be at the airport by 5am ;(

I'm in Salt Lake City waiting for my flight to
Minneapolis where Rita will pick me up. We have time to visit and
Spend time with Amy who also rode the Sourthern
Tier with us last year

Bon voyage

John and I cycled the "Occidental Loop" it's a 38
mile route through some of the most beautiful scenes
in West County. It was a bit chilly but a very enjoyable day,very casual with stops for snacks and photos.
And it was my last ride before packing and shipping my bike to Fargo ND

A Wednesday ride

A very hot day in the 90's. Yikes
40 miles of gorgeous Sonoma County roads!

a few days later

top of Dutcher Rd

beautiful sonoma county

We had lunch at the Eagle .... there's Jackie, Robin, Carole, Barbara and me.
I was going to ride 53 miles but I got this painful stitch in my side after lunch and had to stop
by then it was raining..... it was time to stop but I still got in 43.6 miles.
everyone else got in more miles but they also got soaked

all in all a very good ride

Susan's birthday ride

I met up with the Local Bike Club and did a 50 mile ride with Susan and Sunny.... we stopped for flat tire repairs and the rest of the club took off.... we had a great time
enjoying the wind, hills, gorgeous scenery and sticky buns at the bakery.... yummy

updating after a long layoff

I arrived in Oregon on Mar 13 and immediately came down with bronchitis..... that put me off from training for my "tour" for most of the month that I stayed there. I am back in Calif and relieved to be here...... not only was I sick in Oregon but my little truck cost me almost a $1000. in repairs..... I also sold my RV and moved everything into storage..... yipee......
I decided to move out of Oregon because it seems that I have too many health problems.

anyway I am fully into my training again!
