Well, you want to know why I ride? It’s very simple. It accidentally became another form of exercise for my friend and me. But once we started riding we haven’t stopped. We started riding on our own and then found the RLAG club. Wow, that was the best thing that happened to me. I have learned so much from both Veronica and Guy. From knowing how to use my gears to finding out that there are absolutely no “HILLS” in Mission trails.
Sonia and I have come a long way. We started out walking to now doing both walking and cycling. I really look forward to the weekends and riding with the club. What is so interesting is one never knows what may come one’s way. For me, I never imagined that at my age I would be cycling. I would always watch Lance Armstrong and I would be amazed with him, and all the others that would ride. What would even amaze me more is the iron-man triathlons. It’s so funny because last year I had checked on line about doing a tri. I was discouraged after I read, “get ready to spend between $1500-$2000.” Well that was way out of my range, so I put that thought on the back burner. Little did I know that I would start cycling a few months after I had checked on that. Since I was already a swimmer and now started cycling, my dream a few years back about doing a tri has come to a complete circle. Now, I have registered for a mini-tri on May 9th. I know this may all sound like a simple task for some of you, but for me it is something that I have been wanting to do for a while.
The reason I have come to this point is the confidence I have gotten from riding 'with the girls' for almost a year now. I may just get hooked on doing triathlons, like I have with cycling. The reason I ride is because I enjoy it sooooo much. Thanks, Veronica and Guy, for making riding so much FUN!!!!
