A Different Road Altogether

When I was first diagnosed with breast cancer at age 37, my surgeon told me that this is just a bump in the road of my life. But I’ve learned that it’s actually a different road altogether.

And bought a road bike. Bicycle, not motorcycle!!

A couple months ago, I went out with a really nice guy who’s really into triathlons and cycling. I’ve always really enjoyed recreational cycling, but he peaked my interest in road cycling. So I’ve been researching, saving, and dreaming, and I finally bought a road bike! I really hoped to be able to have a bigger budget, but the kids are out of school, requiring much much money, so I got a really nice entry-level road bike. I got a Specialized Dolce, and it’s a great starting point. Last night I did my first group ride, a beginning road cycling ride out of Arlington. It was short – only 15 miles, but I’ve got to learn the technique of group rides. OMG!!!! What a total blast! I’m very hooked now, there’s no looking back…

Watch for me soon at a century ride! I WILL be there!
