Tour of California

Yesterday Bob and I went on the Mardi Gras Metric Century Ride. It is a phenomenal ride to use as a training ride for the Cycling portion of Vineman. In the midst of the ride, we stopped for a few hours to watch the Tour of California ride up their Second King of the Mountain (KOM) which was the same hill we had to climb. Needless to say, we snapped a photo of us on top.

Things I learned on this ride: From Santa Paula to Ventura, you cycling through a wind tunnel, every way you turn, you are riding in a wind tunnel. not. fun. Second, Ojai to Ventura is NOT, i repeat, is NOT all down hill. Nice rolling hills. Third but certainly the most important thing, I need to start cycling a hell of a lot more so next time I ride, I won't be that tired at the end. :P

In need of support

I am going to ride in the MS150 here in April, and I need your help!!

On April 21-22, 2007, I will join thousands
of cyclists for the BP MS 150 Bike Tour. This is a
two-day tour from Houston to Austin. The goal is to
raise money to help find the cure for multiple
sclerosis. Last year, more than 12,000 cyclists
raised $11.4 million. This year, our goal is
to raise $11.5 million dollars and my personal goal is
$500.00.

Please help support me in this personal endeavor and,
in turn, help people with this devastating disease.
You can donate online at

Thanks again for all your help!!!

Great Race of Agoura

Hi Guys, I don't know how many of you are running the Great Race of Agoura but when you register, if you wouldn't mind, could you put down the name of my friend's kids' school--Sumac Elementary. This event is a fund-raised for the local elementary schools. Thanks in advance.
