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.

not to be a story topper, or attention hog, BUT, i also used the awful economic conditions as an excuse to pump some money back into the system. just as the credit markets were seizing-up and the dow was reaching new depths, i dipped into my war chest and bought a nice new bianchi.

she’s a bianchi 928 carbon C2C and she makes me happy. her name is bella.

Diversifying

Landscapers are collecting bikes! What better investment can you make when the economy is in the toilet? My motto is: if I had a million dollars I would go for a bike ride… if I lost all my money I would have a drink and go for a bike ride.

I decided to go fixed gear for my daily commute to work. Its an awesome way to start the day. I now have my favorite route into Union Square and my black fixie gets me there smiling… happy riding!
