The gravity of the situation continues to sink in.

This weekend, I joined nearly 3000 cyclists in the Valero MS150 – “Bike to the Beach”. This event is a 150 mile bicycle ride from San Antonio to Corpus Christi, Texas.

Joel, Marco, Jennifer and Bill – my trusted cycling companions – joined me on this adventure.

It was…incredible, amazing, grueling, rewarding, painful, wonderful, sobering, outstanding…and so much more.

My goal was to finish the ride without hopping on a SAG wagon. I am proud to say that goal was accomplished in what turned out to be nearly 11 hours of saddle time.

I know. Ouch. But I did it…and there is so much to write about.

So…I’m planning on a separate post for each day…but decided to go ahead and get some links posted to photos and a video of us crossing the finish line.

Photos from the ride (I’ll be adding to this gallery as more come in)

Video of the ride across the finish line (good job sis!)

Time for me to sit down and try to capture details of the ride while they are fresh in my mind!
