| inspiring group of women cyclists |
This past weekend my team , B4T9, had a social ride starting from WestLake Village through parts of the Santa Monica Mountains. The inspiring part about riding with this group is riding with my teammates. On our way up stunt road, chatting with one of my teammates I find out she is 66 years young! I was taken aback and my first thought was I hope that when I'm her age, I'm still riding up stunt road. A few other women riding in our group are in their 70's. Our team proves that we're never too old to be an athlete and we just do it!

That's one of my life goals is to ride my bike well into my 80's. The route proved to be challenging and scenic. The Santa Monica mountains provides beautiful roads & substantial climbing. Our team hosts monthly social rides on a monthly basis. Check out the calendar on www.b4t9.com for the schedule.
This ride also helped me calm my fears about climbing as I'm preparing for the Rock Cobbler. The 40 mile ride included 3k feet of climbing. I felt pretty good. It's always fun to ride with my B4T9 teammates and it provided me with much needed motivation.
