GO Team!

It's the LAST day of January and I'm starting my training for the Tour of the California Alps, also known as the "Death Ride." The cycling event is 129 miles in California Sierras and the route covers 15,000 feet of climbing over three mountain passes: Ebbetts Pass, Monitor Pass and Carson Pass. Though I've been cycling for a few years now, this will be my first experience with Team in Training to raise funds for the benefit of those living with blood cancer. Training with a group and a common purpose will add motivation and diversity as we'll complete our training together over the course of the next 5 months.

Please share my journey by checking this blog often. If you feel the urge, you can also make a donation by going to my fundraising page at: http://pages.teamintraining.org/sf/TourAlps10/trothu
