Not yet formally training for Transrockies, but pushing myself

This morning i rented great pair of cyclocross bike at Big Shark and went on a 35 mile bike ride with my brother in law, Sasha and his buddies in St Louis.

I'm lucky to have Sasha as my "cancer quarterback" at my side from the day I was diagnosed advising and helping navigate between doctors, hospitals and treatments. It helps that he happens to be lung cancer researcher at Washington University in St Louis, working on a cure for lung cancer....

It took only four rounds of chemo therapy to wipe out 35 years of keeping fit and exercising, I'm still working hard on getting back in shape. Training for the Transrockies event is going to be tough, but I still have plenty of time to get stronger.
