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.

Ten Mile Decompression

Posted by beingreen on March 26, 2008

I am becoming fond of the 10 mile after-work decompression… thats 3 times around the park, if I am correct. I don’t have a computer on my bike yet. If anyone can recommend a good one, I’m open.

So far so good. I have gotten used to the shoes, less fearful of falling off the bike because I am locked in. The shoes definitely help with locomotion.

What is it about hills? Why is the same hill so painful the first time around, so easy the second, and so mediocre the third?

    The first time you’re cold. The second you’re up to speed, the third your muscles start getting acid :)
    About computers, I like the sigma sport ones (http://www.sigmasport.com). Simple but effective. If you want a top notch one, go for suunto (http://www.suunto.com).
    Lots of luck and love.
