Terri and I met in 2009. I was a Spin instructor at a local gym and I started an outdoor cycling club. I was in my mid forties and the majority of people who joined the Spin class and the cycling club were also in their 40’s and 50’s. Most hadn’t been on a bicycle since childhood and were nervous about transitioning from the spin bike to the road. There were however, a core group of women who fell in love with cycling, as much I had eight years prior. The first time out was in March 2009, on a rails to trails; two-and-a half miles up and two-and-a-half miles back. That September, those same women road 60 miles for a charity Bike MS ride in Cooks Forest. Terri was a part of that core group of woman. Her passion for cycling was as intense as mine. By June of 2011, we road from Washington DC to Pittsburgh. In 2013, we road from West Virginia to Presque Isle, Erie. We have done Century rides, Charity rides and 50 mile, just for fun rides. We love cycling!
