I DID IT!

** EDIT **



More deets to come later, but I could not wait to inform you all that I have in fact completed the RIDE TO CONQUER CANCER, cycling 180 km from Vancouver to Seattle in an effort to raise funds for the BC Cancer foundation.

I was able to raise over $2500 and overall the event raised 6.9 MILLION!!!

My Team, the Cushman Cancer Crushers raised a WHOPPING $102,550.64!!

With 1,701 riders it was an event like nothing else I have even been involved with.

My body hurts from the tops of my toes to my eyelashes and I am exhausted.

A full play-by-play will be posted as soon as this little cyclist rests up a bit more, but until then, here is a clip of the Opening Ceremonies and if you look closely you can see Phil and I heading out:




Phil = 20:25 in a yellow helmet and brown and black jacket on a red bike
Moi = 20:11 in a turquoise jacket and silver helmet, looking very small ;)

Cheers,
E.
