4 more days!!!

Oh hello.

The PG&E Power Pedalers thank you for all your encouragement and support! Our early mornings, post-work evenings and weekends have been consumed with pedaling, climbing, baking, spinning, fundraising, meeting and scheming up costume ideas for the last handful of months. We're feeling strong and sooo excited to hop on those bike seats and flock southward in less than 4 days!!!

If you have been meaning to donate and haven't been able to get in front of that computer with credit card in hand...now's the time to do it! There are a few of our team members who could use a boost on meeting the $3K minimum in order to participate on the bike ride. Show your love and support by kindly visiting:

In the meantime, here are some more training ride photos for you to be entertained with while I figure out some of the last minute details of how to make this blog app work!

Oh! One more thing. You'll be happy to know, this daily blog will be solar powered all next week by Tom Ford's nifty new solar charger! (Yep, no plugs available during the ride, he'll be carrying the solar panels on his back!)

Sporting 30th anniversary jersey kits. Not really an anniversary to celebrate, that HIV is still around after 30 years, but good to know.

Training ride, 3 weeks til ride out.

Beautiful day, Mother's Day ride, thank you to our ALC training ride leader volunteers, led by Mark Smith. PG&E Power Pedalers had 6 members join the ride. About 6,000 feet of climbing for those that went to the summit of Mt. Diablo. Schafer Ranch Rd. didn't seem as steep as I expected it would be, after riding down it yesterday. Our team is looking forward to the ride and training hard. Please donate if you can.
