Mrs. Rootchopper says that a good definition of amnesia is going through a second pregnancy. I have a definition of dementia. On September 8, I will ride the 50 States Ride in DC for the tenth time.
That’s right, 500 States!
Last year I rode with a fabulous group of friends who made me feel old and feeble. Of course, riding with pulmonary embolisms might have had something to do with that.
This year I hope to be healthier. And I want some good company again. Today I already registered myself and my friend Emilia, who will be joining me for the third time since 2014. (Emilia es muy loca.) So join us.
If you are a WABA member you’ve already received an email with registration details. If you’re not a WABA member, you can ride as a guest of a registered member. Or become a member and register.
In any case, I need someone to keep Emilia and me from riding off course – AGAIN!
And you won’t even have to tow me over Cathedral Heights because Emilia said she’d do that,
Also, I agree not to skip the 18 states that I’ve actually ridden in since last year’s ride. (I mean, I’ve really had my fill of Montana!)
So sign up. Then send me a message to let me know you’re joining the 500-States Posse!
A Few Spokes Shy of a Wheel 
Don’t you think that training by riding cross country might be a tad overkill???
Emilia, Rachel, Kevin, and Stephen kicked my ass last year. I had to go something!
I had amnesia a few times then..
All the best with the 500 state ride.
