At 7:30 A.M. I will be on the raod for my 150 mile bicycle ride for Multiple Sclerosis.
I Start in the parking lot of Graceland ( yes Elvis) and ride 75 miles to Tunica, Ms.
We stay the night in Tunica and ride back 75 miles, a different route, to finish at Graceland.
Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers, I hope my knees hold up ok. LOL

Hunter is a volunteer she will be up and down the bike route, I hope she smacks me on the butt as I ride by. hee hee hee [

Thanks

Any news? Did you survive? Did you crash and burn? Do you have blisters on your hiney? Do your knees need some oil, like the Tin Man's?

Im ALIVE!!! LOL
Had a great ride. Saturday was pretty rough, my riding partner was having trouble with his bike,
all day, so we took it slow. I did not want to leave him so we made very slow time. His bike finally broke
at the 55 mile mark so I rode the rest of the 25 miles by myself. I pushed myself hard to makeup for slow time with him. The last mile comming up to the casino where we stayed the night I threw up like 3 times.

Sunday we got rained on a little drizzle mostly. I rode pretty much by myself all day. My time sunday was about 40-45 min. better than saturday. I came up to the finish line and there was alot of volunteers and team members there cheering me in. [ ':D'

This one really big, huge hill called the wall was pretty bad, put I made it to the
top without stopping, thanks to Hunter. She came out and gave me a little push, just enough to get my second wind and make it to the top. She had her hands on my hiney. hee hee hee[ ':)'

hunter was a wonderful volunteer she met me at a couple of break stops and gave me water, and lunch. THANKS HUNTER!!! [ ':D'

Im ready for next year!!
