Lisa's Biking Blog: What If...
http://novice2century.blogspot.com/2010/03/what-if.html
My journey from novice cyclist to first Century . and beyond . Saturday, March 20, 2010. These two words can be really powerful. They are equally capable of leading one down the path to a very dark place or to a very enlightened place. A paradox. Much like the statement I made in my last post when I said that I was profoundly unlucky and profoundly lucky in less than an instant. Well, what if the worst happened? Okay, this is depressing. I don't like this path. What if the car didn't pass me? I know I'm ...

Lisa's Biking Blog: Hitting 1000
http://novice2century.blogspot.com/2009/07/hitting-1000.html
My journey from novice cyclist to first Century . and beyond . Tuesday, July 21, 2009. This past weekend I passed the 1000 mile mark. That was my mileage goal to get to the PMC and I'm happy to report I met it 2 weeks early. My plan is to reach 2000 by the end of the season. Hopefully continued motivation, strong legs and good weather will help pull me through. That is a great number, especially considering all of our rain days. Way to go! July 23, 2009 at 9:24 AM.

Lisa's Biking Blog: Digging Deep
http://novice2century.blogspot.com/2010/08/digging-deep.html
My journey from novice cyclist to first Century . and beyond . Thursday, August 5, 2010. Okay, it's almost show time. The PMC is just 34 hours away. I'm trying to stay calm and just breathe. I know - well, I don't know, but I'm pretty sure - that I won't have another freak bike accident sending me face first into the pavement like I did in March. But the impending weekend just stirs it all up again for me. We ride the PMC for a higher purpose: To help fund life saving cancer treatment. I've tried to ...

Lisa's Biking Blog: So here it is.... 2 months later...
http://novice2century.blogspot.com/2009/12/so-here-it-is-2-months-later.html
My journey from novice cyclist to first Century . and beyond . Monday, December 28, 2009. So here it is. 2 months later. I've been a total blog slacker. Here it is in late December, over two months since my last post. What's my excuse for not writing? I guess the only honest answer is that I just didn't feel like it. For some reason, I couldn't get myself to write. I didn't think I had anything worthy to write about. And I'm questioning the whole blog thing - is it too self indulgent? In the interim, my ...

Lisa's Biking Blog: Fall Splendor
http://novice2century.blogspot.com/2009/10/fall-splendor.html
My journey from novice cyclist to first Century . and beyond . Tuesday, October 27, 2009. This is what it's all about. The leaves have been spectacular this year, most likely due in part to such a rainy June. I love biking through a canopy of fall leaves when I'm out there on the road. The color, the feel, the smell - I love everything about it. Being out on the road helps ensure I enjoy this fleeting season before the leaves fall away. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Lisa's Biking Blog: In Memory and In Honor
http://novice2century.blogspot.com/2009/07/in-memory-and-in-honor.html
My journey from novice cyclist to first Century . and beyond . Thursday, July 30, 2009. In Memory and In Honor. Why am I riding in the Pan-Mass Challenge for the first time this year? I ride in memory and in honor of the following family and friends:. This is my Aunt Doris, whose life was cut short by ovarian cancer in 2005. Although we lived many miles apart, she was always my favorite aunt - so warm, loving and generous. She lives on in our hearts and memories. Great note, Lisa! Ditto what Dan said Lisa.

Lisa's Biking Blog: Back in the Saddle
http://novice2century.blogspot.com/2010/06/back-in-saddle.html
My journey from novice cyclist to first Century . and beyond . Friday, June 4, 2010. Back in the Saddle. So, quietly and without a lot of fanfare, I've gotten back on my bike and begun doing training rides again. Riding is still scary for me, but I'm trying to put that aside as best I can and begin enjoying the ride again. It's interesting to look back and see how I made this progression. After my accident. Oddly enough, a car passed by me at the exact minute I came upon "the scene", almost knocking me o...
