4 Weeks to Go!

There are only 4 weeks to go until we start our ride in SF. We've been getting in most of our training on the weekend - last weekend it was down in Capitola/Santa Cruz; the week before up at Old La Honda to Pescadero and back via Tunitas Creek (65 miles and 6000' of climbing). One of our best rides was a couple of weeks back when we were up in Arnold and we rode to Bear Valley Lodge. It was 50 miles round-trip (25 miles up hill - about 5-7% average grade), but then we got to ride the 25 miles downhill! What a great ride... We averaged about 22 miles per hour on the way back down and enjoyed the ride.

As we get ready for the ride, remember us in your prayers for health and for safety. Also, take some time to go to www.alsotouch.com and see videos of the last year of Christiana's life. This is why we ride!!
