After the training, I took a train trip to visit Betsy, a Wandering Wheels cyclist I had met in the spring. We toured around Ottawa, Canada’s capital, on rental Bixi bikes. Like D.C., it’s full of embassies and government buildings (like Parliament) and strange public art. We had great conversations, like about how yoga and […]
July 10 to 20, 2011 A few days later, I flew to Montreal for the Acro Yoga Montreal level two teacher training. Wow. I was joined by Mara, my teacher and dear friend from San Diego. There were also more friends from San Diego, Tucson, Pheonix, Seattle and Chicago, and of course amazing new friends […]

June 30 to July 5, 2011 My mom decided she had to take a trip out to Wyoming to visit my cousins and their kids, even if she could only stay a few days, and even if she had just adopted a dog from the pound two days ago. So with Betsy Ross curled up […]

Wednesday, April 6 Oak Flat Campground to Thatcher, AZ 87 miles This is supposed to be looking back on a long downhill. It’s hard to tell from the picture. Here’s my bike leaning. My kickstand disappeared sometime yesterday. Finding somewhere to lean it when I take breaks on the road is an ongoing challenge. I […]
Tuesday, April 5 Apache Junction to Oak Flat Campground, 4 miles east of Superior 35 miles The ride today was great until I started climbing into Superior. Then it still felt pretty good, until I bonked, which means just falling apart exhausted, I guess. I ate a sandwich less than 3 miles from town to […]
Monday, April 4, 2011 Pheonix to Apache Junction 42 miles If you look closely, you can see needles in my shoulders and forehead. Last night, Jessica filled me full of needles to get me ready to ride again. Chi was moving everywhere! I could still feel it moving around this morning, particularly in my neck […]
