A Bump in the Road

We got some bad news this week. Frances, who was in an auto accident last month, was diagnosed as having micro-tears in her back , and was told that she cannot do anything that stretches the back for a couple of months. That definitely includes cycling. That makes training for the BP MS-150 impossible, so that event is out for 2007.

So, we're changing our goal. There is another MS-150 in Texas in October - the Valero MS-150 that goes from San Antonio to Corpus Christi, and is about 160 miles over 2 days. It's a smaller ride, which is good - but we won't have the benefits of all the organized training rides that precede the BP MS-150, and we'll have to train in the summer. We're going to give it a shot.
