What’s it all about then?

December 8, 2015 by Patricia

Seriously, what on earth posessed me to sign on for 48.6 miles in 4 days of riding in January. Training at this time of year is torture…it’s cold outside. It’s dark too early. I like to put my bike away after Thanksgiving so that I’m excited to take it out again in spring!

I decided to go back to basics: Athletes helping athletes. This is the video we made about Philly Achilles back when we were a brand new chapter. This is what we’re all about. This is why I’m riding to support Achilles. If you can take 8 minutes to meet people like Andrew, Matt and me, you’ll see what it’s all about*.

So, I’ll get up early…and ride with excellent people.

*aside from the Hokey Pokey.

There is still time to support my fundraising
