BIG RIDE TRAINING

With 3 weeks before the BIG RIDE begins, training is in full swing! I am feeling optimistic heading into the final stretch thanks to the help of my physical therapists Paul (Institute of Athletic Medicine) & Jason (CycleFit at IAM), and the bike fit guru Chris Balser (Penn Cycle). These gentlemen have patiently worked with me and my bike to help me recover from Achilles Tendonitis. After taking 3 weeks off from training in April/May to focus on healing and strengthening, I am happy to be back in the saddle again ;)

I am in awe of the natural beauty that surrounds me. Rick McFerrin stated, "A bike gives you the freedom to go where you want to go at a pace that allows you to take things in." Exploring the Twin Cities on bicycle has been exciting as I discover new landscapes, such as the Native American burial grounds near the State Capitol or the Sculpture Garden in Downtown. I cannot even fathom the beauty of God's creation that I will be surrounded by during the course of the BIG RIDE. Excitement awaits - come what may!
