Rain, rain go away...

Don't come back on Saturday!

It's a tad too rainy for riding today.
I can't report that I mastered the shoes yesterday, but I'm a bit more confident.
If it's all flat or downhill, I'll be ripping up the roads.
Uphill, and I'll be walking like a duck.

I guess this is the point where we should show a video synopsis of the rides....
How 'bout some of my favorite comments from you all.

Background music, please....


Keep it up. You are doing great. Success is a measure of accomplishment and failure is not to have accomplished anything. But failure is just an opportunity to go in another direction. So anything past the starting point is a success and as with anything in life the further you go the more successful. 
Yes, keep me informed and I will be cheering for you.

Sandie,
If you can beat the island wind, MoTown and environs will be a piece of cake! Go, girl!

Your writing is like poetry. Sounds like your riding is too.
Honoring your efforts,
Carol T

Sandie,
This is wonderful, what a writer! and rider!! and Mom!!!
Have a great weekend... See you at the Ride!
Frank

Hurrah!
Keep up the good work!
Much love, Rick
PS; Just remember: A challenge, no matter how challenging, is not an
excuse to hurt yourself!

I had no idea. You are an inspiration. 
The mother of one of my best friends has MS.
Our college philanthropy was MS.
When I donate clothing, it's to the MS Society.
Good luck, Sandie. What you're doing is awesome.

Might I suggest a Harley Davidson with pedals........
if it's got pedals, it's not REALLY cheating!
Larry

Yay! Good things come to those who work their buns off! All good wishes
and may your guardian angel fly w/ you preventing spills or other
mishaps (now that you know how to fall on either side : )
Cathy

You rock!
Chris

Don't "brake a leg"!
But have a great time!
...When you finish the race you can start the novel...
RC

Oh, my!!
E-hugs and much love to you.
Mark

Chuckie

Gee, this is awfully good. The writing I mean. If you're not blogging,
you should be. (But I don't know where you find the time.)
Best of luck with the big ride... I'll keep you in my thoughts.
Regards,
Chris

Sandie,
I love hearing about your bike tour training...
I really support you in what you're doing.
I silently cheer for you every time I get your e-mails about it.
Know that you are taking many of us with you every step of the way.
You go, girl!

A century?
You're impressing me...

You are an inspiration to us all! We'll all be rooting for you on Satuday!
Barbara

Sandie:
Hey, thanks so much for sharing this with me.
I'm happy and flattered to be on your list.
To coin a phrase, "You go, girl!"
Best,
Jay

I am so proud of you! I could visualize the experience, fall & all.
Ouch - all over.
Elizabeth

I know you can, too.
Peace, R

Sandie -
Good luck in your efforts; go with our love and admiration.
Pat

Sandie,
Very inspiring!
I would just offer this word of advice.
Don't over train at this late date...
Do your best and you know those on this list are with you.
Best
Russ

Hi Sandie
Keep it up girl, I am not surprized.
You are so awsome. If i wrote a book of the great assets you have with
your talents and background and your looks and great to be around with,
it would be a best seller. 1000 pages at least. All of your friends
including me will be cheering you on to the finish. It does not matter when
you finish. In our minds and sould, you will always be #1.
See you soon!
