In 2002, 13 women-ages 50 to 69-from 13 different states biked across America from San Diego to St. Augustine, FL.  This adventure changed my life-not only w/the friendships formed but also w/a new found sense of accomplishment.  Thanks to Armand who found it on the internet & trained me. Every 2 yrs we have a reunion-2011 we were hosts in Brenham, TX-home of Blue Bell ice cream. The reunion is about the bond we formed-& we get to go to fantastic places.  12 of the 13 women are here-which is remarkable. GEORGIA & RUSTY are the hosts this yr & picked a fantastic place here on the OR coast. 1st 2 days– took a bike ride, hikes, took a drive to see whales, lighthouse & sea lions-beautiful sunny days. Fri-weather turned-went for boat ride-saw sunfish & sea lion fly out of water & land on a bouy-no whales. Had lots of good meals & good times. Donna, whose husband Roger had just died, drove from Lake Tahoe & joined us–it made this reunion even more meaningful. Last meal, restaurant had band-sang “On the Rd Again” & “See You Down the Rd”–next reunion is in Puerta Rico-Jane (NY) is hosting-can’t wait!!
