"Summertime....

...and the ridin' is easy,  the wheels are turning, and the jerseys are high" (apologies to George Gershwin for changing his song; it was sung beautifully at the Medical Staff meeting in the summer of 2010 by Liz Varughese). Check out my favourite version of Summertime by Ella here.

Me and Jason at the finish of the Ride to Survive
On June 23 Jason and I rode 40 km from Maple Ridge to North Delta to complete the final leg of the Ride to Survive, the epic 400 km cancer fundraiser. It was so cool to be riding at the front of a group of 110 cyclists with a police escort and helicopter overhead.




Starting the hill climb sprint up Buena Vista Drive
Last weekend we attended Tour de White Rock, the end of Superweek of bike racing, showcasing local and international cycling talent.And what a great place to go for dinner and a gelato. Walking around is extra fun now that the feeling has returned to my feet!



Riding with Glen and Andrea Ward on the Delta Dyke 
Went for a nice sunset ride with the Wards and our kids along the Delta Dyke this week, with multiple sightings of eagles, herons, and rabbits.  In addition to the bike rides, I am swimming  regularly, and getting coached/treated by a physio, yoga instructor and massage therapist.

  It indeed does take a village to cure an illness.
