About Me

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.

Making connections in Austin

This rainy morning we will connect with friends we met in Farmington through the Unitarian Fellowship, Sandy and Morris Carter. Sandy was board president from Navajo United Methodist Center for two years.  We will be attending the UU here and sharing the message about the Coast to Coast trip.  Sandy and Morris took us out for breakfast at the Magnolia cafe where we had real coffee, the first for this trip, delightful Mexican food and a bustling Austin scene, and it was wonderful to visit with them.  In the afternoon we stopped at the the LBJ Museum reliving some history we lived through. Wow!

Later in the afternoon we will meet with two of Judith's friends, one of whom stayed with Judith during the early weeks of her recovery from her hip replacement surgery.  
Also I will be taking a massage and chiropractic appointments to realign this cycling body. Melaine will investigate where we may sit in a hot tub too as healing before this next leg of the journey.  The SAG fellow, David, will be taking a hot tub and massage too.  We need David to be in top form just as much as we need the cyclist to be in top form.  Thank you Judith for paving the way for this needed recovery.
