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.

The Couple from Holland-We are Great Explorers
March 18th just east of Winchester, I gave a hello as I noticed a couple riding west on the Southern Tier Route. We ended up visiting for a few minutes. They are young, in their thirties, and will be taking altogether 5 or 6 months for this trip. We shared a few pieces of information about what to expect from the route we would be experiencing ahead. The young woman remarked that we are of a special breed for there are not too many who are doing this sort of trekking. And she did not even mention especially for one of my advanced age. Amy also said that they too were still in training for this trip as there are not many mountains or hills in Holland with which to practice.
