dirt, cement, and water

Today my boss asked me how my training was going. I told her that since I ride the stationary bike at the gym its rather boring. So she volunteered to come down to the gym and throw dirt, cement, and water at me. You know, to make the stationary bike more realistic. This may or may not be helpful. We both agreed that this might work. Who knows what the R:WL team 09 will encounter.

Now that I think about it. Is it a good thing that my boss wants to throw things at me?

I would love to hear stories from past ride:well’rs about the strangest things you have encountered.

Bike Across the Universe

During the past few weeks I have been able to tell a lot of people about the R:WT and have gotten interesting responses. Most people look at me like I am crazy, but some are vary supportive. I am very thankful for all of you!

A few days ago my boss asked me what I was most afraid of regarding the Ride: Well Tour. I told him the riding my bike part. Then we both laughed. I don’t have a lot of experience road biking. However, I love riding my bike around town and to the ocean. That is at most 20 miles at a time. I also love challenging myself to complete new adventures like climbing mountains. So I am quite excited about this new challenge.

Also a good friend of mine asked me “Lisa are you excited to ride across the universe!”. I think she was just a little confused but I told her “Yes, yes I am!”. This has become a little inside joke with a few of my friends. So now, among a small group of people up here in Maine the Ride:Well Tour is biking across the universe. Thought I would let the rest of the riders know. You may have to increase training!
