Day Six: Participant Comments
The gals got a taste of what California weather is all about today. The sun was shining it was a beautiful day!! Gave a whole new meaning to “scenic route” Highlight of my day was seeing my absolutely amazing peanut princess Cassara whose proud parents had waiting for me at San Ramon Harley. Can’t believe this ride is almost over. I have made more friends for life. Everything happens for a reason and I believe that Cancer happened to me so that I could become a member of this amazing group.
I am proud to belong to the best club I never wanted to join.
Bring on Oz!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ENJOY!!!

I am a more confident on the motorcycle now. “Close your eyes and go,” my grandfather used to say. This ride has been uplifting and enlightening. I am not afraid to take the chance and merge or to take a chance and speak openly about my depression. I have cried every night of this ride. I realize how important my husband and son are as I miss them terribly. I realize now also how little I take care of myself. I am grateful for my new friends and hope to keep in touch for a very long time. I feel safe, confident and strong- and I feel finally, like I belong. I am not alone. –Linnea aka Pippi
What an awesome day and ride. 90 degrees and sunny! I started out with a jacket and chaps, but due to the heat, I had to remove them. Riding with these ladies has been such an awe inspiring adventure for me. Friendships are being formed daily and will last for years. I know we will never forget this trip-no matter how bad our “chemobrain” is! :~} M &M are so terrific and great to have coordinated all this for us. I hope to join them on other adventures in the future.
I do have to say that I did experience my first view of roadkill! A dead skunk was in the middle of the road and I started to gag!! At least pancake didn’t stink!
My family is surviving without me, but I do believe that they miss me, as I do them. I guess absence does make the heart grow fonder. See you all in about 5 days.
Love,

OK-I don’t want to hear any ‘Okies’ complain about traffic until you have ridden a motorcycle on a California freeway! Ralph didn’t want me riding after dark or on I-35 when I got my bike ( a few weeks ago). Hmmmm guess he’d freak over the riding situation in some of the places we have traveled. You MUST be brave on the highways and in life! Now I must mention the winding tree-lined routes—beautiful! I want to do a few more thank-you’s: I couldn’t have done this without the support from my sponsor—Janna, Jay, Jennifer and the rest of the bikecandy staff! Also thanks sooo much to Dale, Beth and OKC T-cycles-who are taking care of my needs even on the road ( how many dealers call their customers on a weekend to check on them!?), as well as Clay and Jay—thanks a bunch!
