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.

cold but amazing

i thought it was spring, but it’s still quite cold at 545 am. it’s freezing!  i was a little beat after this early ride friday but after i finished my coffee on the front stoop, i was ready for work, and it’s amazing what a 1 hour ride can do with like 4 hours of sleep.

i forgot after this incredibly awful and long winter, but riding in the morning is beautiful! the sun is so so low in prospect park, kind of skimming between the tree trunks, across the sheep’s meadow, illuminating the lake with this orange, purplish glow. sleepy landscapes like this totally rejuvenate your soul. i had the best day after this ride. okay, now i’m defrosted…and, off to work.

    Look for me when it’s 50 degrees. Impressive though, for sure.
