Teams are made up of individuals. Without them, there is no team.

I will be riding with others from Team in Training on the Death Ride on July 14th. The Death Ride is a near-legendary 129-mile ride with 15,000 feet of climbing. As if that weren’t enough, it is done at altitude, in the Sierras. It is a physical effort far beyond anything I ever imagined I would try to do. I wouldn’t ask anyone to go through what I intend to complete.

So why would I put myself through this? Because together with your generous donations, our time, sweat and effort helps to find cures for a terrible disease that strikes without warning, at any age.

My first-ever completion of a Century for Team in Training, AMMBR, 2010
