Cyclin' widows

Last year when Albert got his road bike he made a vow to ride in the MS150. A fund raising event for Multiple Sclerosis that is a two day 150 mile ride to Fort Collins and back. Since it's been about 10 years since Albert has done more than ride to work and back, he knew this was going to require a lot of training.

Fortunately early in the training process Albert convinced our neighbor Bret to ride the MS150 as well.
Since then Lynda and I have been biking widows.

(at Bull and Bush after the first long ride of the year, only 42 miles)

Zack and I spend many weekends and evenings
waiting for dad to get back from bike rides,
but at least we have Lynda and Nixie to play with.

Zack loves to watch dad take off for rides and is even more elated when he returns.
Shadow always lets us know dad has arrived
so Zack can see him out front window.
Zack is aways super excited to greet dad when he returns from a ride.
Lately he even seems to associate all bike riders and bikes with dad!!

Sometimes just for fun (Albert says doesn't count towards training) Zack gets to ride behind dad in the trailer.

If you want to follow Albert's last week of training progress ,

We are so very proud of his training and fund raising efforts
and can't wait for race day to cheer him on!!
Albert is the one that has to do the hard riding but it is defiantly a family effort.
