Ride For The Cause...

Dear readers,

Recently I decided to participate in Bike MS New York City. This race funds research to find a cure for multiple sclerosis. Riding a bike seemed a simple enough way for me to contribute to the common cause so I jumped at the chance. All participants are required to raise 100 dollars in donations. If you'd like to help by making a donation on my behalf please visit http://main.nationalmssociety.org/site/TR/Bike/NYNBikeEvents?px=7031839&pg=personal&fr_id=11030&et=xJJfov59Lx0rwPeetfkC7w..&s_tafId=106134 .

I will be riding with the Goldman Sachs team with my sisters Carly and Hayley. Feel free to track our progress on race day!

Thank you!

P.S. If you would like more information about the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, how proceeds from Bike MS are used, or the other ways you can get involved please visit msnyc.org.

A Bike to Call My Own...

I bought a road bike. Life couldn't get any better... seriously. (unless there was some way I could forgo the whole getting used to the bike saddle)

Here's the beauty...
I've already taken her on some significant spins around Weber County so now she's being boxed and shipped to NY. Bring on the city streets!

BTW-I always wear a helmet... don't you worry

Deron v. Floyd...

Lately, I've taken up an interest in cycling. In fact, by the end of this week I may even have a skinny-tired ride to call my own. This new interest has lead me to use my free time (which I've had a lot of lately) to research and read up on anything and everything bike related. This lead me to stumble on the gem of a blog Bike Snob NYC. One of the more recent posts highlighted a publicity event for the upcoming Tour of Utah race held at Utah's own Miller Sports Park earlier this August. The event was a challenge between Floyd Landis, winner of the Tour de France (controversially), and the Utah Jazz point guard Deron Williams.

The contest consisted of a 2.2 mile bike race followed by a three-point shooting contest. Williams beat Landis in both events. Here's Williams in his classy Utah Jazz spandex get-up.
Hands down Williams wins the challenge. He makes bikers look hard core with all of his tatoos and facial hair, he didn't get caught doping, and he beat a pro cycler as a mere novice. Oh wait, did I mention Williams was given a one minute head start? My bad....

Summer Times...

So I'm not gonna lie, I've had a FABULOUS summer! It has been so good that I haven't even had time to post for... well, forever. I've spent considerable time on a beach, on a bike, with Miss Tori, eating frozen yogurt, 80's dancing, singing at the top of my lungs to my favorite Beyonce songs, interning at Volcom, eating dollar taco's on the balboa penninsula, and much more. Here are a few photos chronicling my favorite days of summer!

Miss Tori herself!
(Yes Tori, I stole this from your blog... we have virtually no pictures of
ourselves in normal (read: non-80's) attire)

At the US Surf Open in Huntington Beach.
Sun, surfers, and good company. It doesn't get much better.

With the Volcom folks at Taco Tuesday. Do yourself a favor
and hit up Great Mex next time you are in Newport.

Interns on the beach!

I loved living in California! Cross your fingers and I may move back come January...

Retired Glamour Shot...

Love this girl! We always have a good time together... escalators and all :)
