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.

Three Centuries in Five States!

Posted by beingreen on September 21, 2008

Remember us? The Landscapers are still at it. This weekend we rode our third century of the season… the Tri State Seacoast ride through Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine. It was a lovely autumn ride going north along the coast…. with brutal headwinds on the return south to New Hampshire. Exhausting! The Landscapers’ training had, um, slackened a bit over the summer… although one of us was still maintaining a pretty good training routine. We definitely took this ride a little lighter than the other two… and actually I enjoyed it more! We slept a bit later (to 7:30 am…as we arrived at midnight the night before) took a long lunch, and stopped to goof as much as we wanted. Stretched the ride out to 7.5 hours, had a lobster dinner, bought Marty a large Dunkin Donuts coffee for the road, and made it back to Brooklyn at 1:00 am. Are we NUTS? YES!


These photos are all out of order, but I kind of like them that way. Enjoy.
