We brought rain to Phoenix last night, they are delighted and the skies this morning are clearing for a beautiful day of riding.
About Me
- Wheeling for Women; The Heroine's Journey
- United States
- Are we not all on a heroine's or heroe’s journey? It is my younger daughter who first led me into biking, a bit of running and Yoga. As the retirement years approach I now see that I can spend my time in physical sport, a new passion for me, and help people at the same time. For the past two years, I came in first in my age category for the Standard Olympic Triathlon in Farmington, New Mexico ( the first race of my adult life). A native New Mexican, born in Albuquerque, I have lived in several states and abroad but for thirty years have lived Farmington,NM. I have a marvelous husband, three adult children and five grandchildren and many friends who are supporting this cycling venture.

Phoenix and a biking companion
Brian MacDonald, an experienced cyclist, and cousin, guided me through the shared streets (shared with BIG motorized vehicles) to the Canal Bike Path on the west side of Phoenix. This biking day gave me renewed inspiration for my trip. Brian was kind enough to give his support for this venture. It is just pure luck that Brian is in Phoenix at this time for he lives with his family outside of Denver, CO. Brian also took me to a bike store to search for long sleeved, yellow biking jerseys. A few years back I ordered one from an Australian manufacturer. It would seem they are the only company on planet earth to have for sale long sleeved yellow jerseys. It is just so delightful to have a cycling companion and in a city that has some dedicated cycling paths and a light rail system which goes Mesa. AZ. Yea!
