Valentine’s Day breaks cold, windy, and early. It really has to rain doesn’t it? It would be so nice to just roll over and crawl back into bed. Ok, ok, I’m up. Maybe I should call the rain line to see. I call and Coach Carol’s pre-recorded voice comes over the line and says, “We are a go”. Alright, I’m mentally there now. I grab something to eat and put on my already laid out gear (God knows I would forget something if I didn’t. Just ask my mother, she was convinced that as a child “I would forget my head if it weren’t attached.”).
I think of the team honorees and those of all the participants, coaches, captains, and mentors. Now I am back on track focused on what really matters – fighting cancer. Today is another day for each of us to pick a fight with cancer and make a difference.
When I arrive at Orinda BART for our team ride it’s cold but I am enjoying myself. I pull out my camera and start taking pictures (no dead camera battery like in Pinole) of everything from the “fit setup” to the cars loaded with bikes as everyone arrives. Once we are all present we practice skills and Coach Carol breaks us into groups for the ride out to Moraga and back.
The ride is great. I ride throughout the group talking to everyone and enjoying the conversations as we motor towards Moraga from Orinda. I really feel good today. I chalk it up to the fantastic company all the TNT folks provide. Ok, it is still cold, but only on the outside.
Go Team!!!
