Biking is the best thing my husband and I ever did for ourselves! And if it was not for our friend who was diagnosed with MS we might never have taken it up. But 7 years ago I saw what it was doing for our friend ( who is still riding and doing amazing) and how healthy biking was keeping him I knew I had to try. And our friend was planning on taking a bike trip I didn’t want to miss. For all we knew eventually he might not be able to ride. But several bike trips later we are all riding for our lives and loving it. We try and convert people all the time. I believe mountain bike riding has really made a difference in our friends MS. He is an amazing person and thank him from the bottom of my heart for giving us such a great gift.

All I can say is YOU ROCK!! It totally amazes me how you just send your mind thinking in the right direction and you accomplish everything you set out to do! You let NOTHING stand in your way!

Ok, I have a really nice Trek Mountain Bike (I know, different than a street bike) … and it hangs, in my garage, taunting me, just like you said! Maybe I can get on it IF I can figure out a way to attach a HUGE tractor seat instead of that tiny seat that ….OUCH! (not a pretty image) ;)

Ride like the wind my friend!

In my book, you are an athlete like Kei says! My bike is calling my name daily, and I just move it around in my garage to get to the stuff behind it…… carpe diem!

Ok no more excuses, I’ve been waiting to buy my bike. Waiting for what??? I have no idea, so you have once again inspired me to let go of my “someday” and to actually seize the day. I’ll send you a picture of what I get :)
Thanks Rachel

I laugh heartily at this post. Why? Because it wasn’t so long ago (less than a year) when a friend of mine called me to say “so I was thinking of entering to be a featured Athlete for Athleta, but I really don’t think of myself as an athlete….. am I?” Yet here you are….. being all athletic and stuff. Being just as inspirational with your athletic achievements as you have been with Signing Time. Go Rachel!!!
