Team Possabilities rides same time!

9-20-11: Hello all! If you've been out lately, you've seen some hand cyclists on the bike path at the same time we are. Well they have now made it official...and have invited us to "join them"! They have a nice big EZ up tent, and it's well-stocked with food, water, etc.!

They park in the back, usually, for more room, so why don't we meet up in back this time so we can be closer to to them and join them?

BTW, this Sun, the 4th Sun. of Sept. (25th), I will be flying back from Portland, OR that AM, so I will NOT be there. All the more reason to join up with Team Possabilities since they have support for their riders.

Robert Sandholm, a good friend of mine, is the leader of that group, and I told him to watch out for TCF riders as well.

So let's start meeting in back with them. They meet at 7:30 AM, and head out on the bike path at 8:00 AM, so don't be late!

Here's their announcement they just sent out:

Join the PossAbilities Handcycle & Bike Rides
now taking place the
2nd & 4th Sunday of each month
@ 7:30 a.m.

We meet in the parking lot at the following location:

Souplantation
228 W. Hospitality Ln. # H
San Bernardino, CA 92408

Riders will leave at 8:00 a.m. on the bike trail in San Bernardino,
head toward Riverside, and return to San Bernardino.
No cars to worry about and you choose the distance you want to ride.
Ride 2 miles, 10 miles, or even 25+ miles….all at your own pace.

Light energy boosting snacks, water, and air tire service will be provided.

It’s great for the entire family!

We welcome able bodied cyclists to join us for support on this ride.

For questions, please contact Robert Sandholm at
(951) 529-8997 or rsandholm@gmail.com.

Cool temps on 9/11

9/11/11 - On this special day, we had cool temps and cloud cover that made it nice for riding. Because I forgot my memory card in my camera, I could only take a few pictures!

Team PossAbilities also ride on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month, so we have company!

The Kelly Bros riding larger bikes with skinny tires for the first time--they flew!

Jordan's first time to ride to Mt. Rubi

He's also a model for Kenneth Cole!

Nanci was my stoker while her hubby John ran 10 miles that AM, despite us telling him, "10K is OK!" (Now I have to run a half marathon in Nov. with him...ugh!)

Oct. 9 - Sign up for Riverside Citris ride

9-6-11: Oct. 9 is the 2nd Sun. in Oct., and as I had stated earlier, there is this local ride that is happening that day. So instead of our usual ride on SART, I will be riding in this event.

I said I was going to ride the 49-mile ride, but I haven't really trained for that distance, and I don't care to ride up Central Ave./Allesandro, so I'm going to sign up for the 28-mile ride instead.
For those of you who have been training for the 50, more power to you! I will be riding the tandem most likely (if I can con someone into joining me!) so the 28-mile will be a good ride for us.
I hope that you can join us on this event! I wish we had team t-shirts or something to signify who we are, but maybe next time! LOL!

In the meantime, our next ride is THIS Sun., 9/11! (Whoa, a memorable date). Let's ride in honor of their memories. It may still be hot, so if anyone wants to ride earlier like the last Sun. ride, feel free. I plan to leave right at 8:00 AM from Souplantation parking lot so don't be late!!! Want to beat the heat. ;-)
