I am starting to ride my bike now more then ever.  I joined a team in Irvine called Velosport and I ride on Saturday mornings with a group of kids around my age and that has made me want to cycle more.  My sponsor at Subaru also takes me out on some local rides which pushes me as he is a pretty good rider – he actually does triathlons so I’d say he’s pretty fit!  I even got to ride with the Subaru race team the other weekend, we went from Santa Monica to Zuma Beach area – it was a great ride and I met some cool new people!  I even did my first race last weekend – I came 14th out of 16 – but I was proud I made it to the end!  Next time maybe I can do even better!

I am really enjoying my Strava Heart monitor that I just purchased and also I love looking at the Garmin to see how I improve on certain legs of my rides – and it’s always fun to try and beat someone elses time!

Now I have to concentrate on fundraising and really reaching out to people for the auction or for donations in general – I want to make an effort to reach out to corporations this year but that is proving time consuming and pretty difficult – but I will keep trying!  If you know anyone that may be interested in cycling with me or donating please feel free to share my website – Thank you 🙂
