Livestrong 2009
Another Livestrong Ride is in the books!!!
I had the pleasure to once again honor my mother and support my friend Rob D., a cancer survivor. It was a pleasure riding with him over the length of the course, and his booming shouts of "streudal" in a German accent as we were climbing hills lifted my spirits and the spirits of those around us. Rock on Streudal!!!
This year's ride was pretty much like last year's ride, with a few minor changes to the course. The best stop along the course was once again at Landis Store.
I felt that I was in better cardio shape this year for the ride, however, the lack of training rides exceeding 30 miles prior to this century had my butt screaming for mercy. I also took a spill this year. At first I was worried about my knee, which was awfully stiff after getting myself up off the ground. As it turns out, it's my shoulder that I will be seeing the doctor for later this morning.
Up next? Hopefully the Seagull Century in October.
