About Me

Would rather take a ride than do about anything else... all the while trying to remember Lance's words. I have now become an official bike addict. The bumps and bruises only further our proof that we are living. Truely living. To be able to be alone on the bike, to learn you body as intimintally, as one needs to do on a bike takes courage. Courage I never thought I had. My goal is to one day be as happy off the bike as I am on. And I'm learning to do that.....

I got my own Free MySpace Layouts from Pyzam.com

My Interests

Biking!! And animals (as if that needed said...), nature, hiking, sketching and wildflowers, reading. I love fixing or attempting to fix my bike. To take long rides, just me and the pedals! Nothing better.p>
Funny Stuff / Myspace layouts

I'd like to meet:

Pema Chodron, James Herriot, Itzhak Perlman, Meryl Streep, Nelson Mandela, Bishop Tutu, Albert Einstein, Alice Walker, Floyd Landis, Vino., Tara Llanes, Amy Lee, George Handicap, the person who invented post it notes, The kick ass women of professional cycling! And those that are fighting in the front lines, not only of the wars, but also in trying to heal this world.

A very powerful song by an artist who is new to me. Please be careful, the song is about child sexual abuse and can be a serious trigger. Besafe.
