Two things:

(1) Got fitted for my bike, helmet, and shoes earlier this evening... So exciting! I know very, VERY little about cycling, but the folks at Bicycle Sports Shop were extremely accomodating and patient.

(2) Just want to tell Vanessa that the article her Woodlands hometown paper wrote was touching and inspiring. Honey, you're an amazing person, strong and full of compassion and conviction. I know you'll have a great time on the Sierra route, but I really wish we could steal you away for the Rockies. :)
