San Antonio's Ride Like A Girl
Come out & ride with us...

Why I ride? Well I have always ridden a bike for casual activity, I used to get grounded from my bike while my brothers got grounded from video games or television. Not me! What happened?…I had a kid, joined the Army and forgot about my bike.
One day my friend, Jaime, said hey, you want to ride in the MS150? I was graduating from college (that same month) and needed a new challenge in life, not to mention something to do (2 1/2 years of full time college + life).
HA! little did I know what I was getting into. 5 months to figure out if I could ride 160 miles in 2 days when all I have is a $50 Walmart trail bike. Off to sun and ski I went to get a bike and all the equipment…and now it started.
I looked online and found Guy and Veronica who took me under their wing when I showed up for the Cibolo ride (unannounced) and took me on 35+ miles rather than the 23 I was expecting.
My new addiction started- it is a place for me to get away from life, challenge myself to the hills (that I personally hate), meet wonderful new friends and see all kinds of new places (from a view I didn’t realize existed). Not to mention the added bonus that I stay healthy and fit!
So after a couple of hiccups in 2009 I am back at it and watch out tour de cure, I am at it again.
