Just finished a 62 mi bike race. I missed the race last year due to chemo. As tired as I got I just tell myself that this is nothing compaired to how I felt last year. So glad to be back on the bike and racing. Have a 12 hour mountain bike race Oct 22, proceeds go to local cancer foundationin my name. The local riding community here has been so supportive of me.

Here's to proving that cancer does not mean the end but a new begining.
