The Landscapers are in Training!

Lake Tahoe Century Ride

  • Thanks

    Thank you all for your generous support in 2008. With your help we have raised over $14,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society!
  • The Double Challenge…

    In May 2008, Wendy Andringa and Marty Barry did their first century ride...thats a 100 mile bike ride... in Lake Tahoe! We joined forces with "Team in Training" for training and fundraising support as we took on the challenge of helping find a cure for blood cancer. We are both individuals that have had cancer touch our lives, in different ways, and are now doing something to help make a difference. We pledged to raise $5,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and far exceeded that goal, and completed the century ride up and down the hills of Lake Tahoe! Your support helped us meet both challenges! Until our next century ride with Team in Training - we want to say that our generosity is and was greatly appreciated! This site was originally intended as a venue for Wendy and Marty to post about our trials, pains, and successes riding for our team, the Landscapers. We’re still riding for our team, just not fund-raising this year. So, until we push again to raise money for cancer we’ll update posts periodically with events that inspired this page, and that will project this page into our futures.

Slow and Steady.

Posted by martinbarry on March 21, 2008

Marty has started training: Over the last two weeks I’ve been going to physical therapy for my back and I’m noticing some improvement with my broken sacrum. I’m still a few weeks away from getting on my JAMIS for some short rides [probably to the wine shop], but I can’t wait. I think I’ll get to Pilates class next week to tighten up a bit, and will hit some spin classes the week after. Things are starting to shape up, and now that the sun is shining more often I’m beginning to break out of the winter slump.

On another front, I’ve been working really hard on the construction drawings for “A Garden for Winnie,” the memorial garden for my mother that I designed in 2006. Hopefully, the design will start rising from the ground in the coming months! I’ll keep you up to speed on the progress.
