It was my senior year of high school when I rode my first century ride with my friend Ken. My “training” was laughable, but with plenty of enthusiasm and naiveté, we finished — and I was hooked into long-distance bicycling ever since.
For the third year in a row, Stanford C-Ya did the Annual Tour du Jour hosted by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. However, this year only three people showed up: Laura Guy, Dan Lieb and myself. Nevertheless, we had a lot of fun!

Oh, and yours truly, the faithful captain! Continue reading »
