On June 7, 2026, I completed the 35 mile bike ride in Tahoe for cancer research through Blood Cancer United: Team In Training. My longest ride before the event was a 20 mile training ride I did 2 weeks prior that kicked my butt.
I wasn't sure I was going to be able to finish this ride, especially at the altitude -- but, I did it! It took me 4 hours at an average speed of 8.5 mph, which according to Google is "a good and normal speed for casual riding", and gave me "control to avoid obstacles" and means I "maybe didn't sweat". Haha
We raised $3 million for cancer research!
