The adventures of Alli and Jill
Last Saturday my sister Alli and I participated in a bike ride called Flying Wheels. It was an amazing adventure and helped us prepare for our long Seattle to Portland bike ride coming up this July. We decided to follow the 45 mile route. This was the perfect length to start out with and had just the right amount of hills to make it challenging. I could not have had a better riding partner along with me that day, Alli and I never fail to have a blast together. The ride was full of laughter, jokes, and conversation. Its never a competition between the two of us because we are similar in so many ways! Our riding goals, fitness level, body type, and ambitions are almost identical, like us! We are constantly pushing ourselves because of the fact that if one of us can do it, so can the other! So when the riding became tough and one of us was lagging behind, all we had to do was watch the other one and we were able to push ourselves. Whether in a bike riding situation or just hanging out with family, my sister and I have the best time and are constantly engaged in breathless laughter; she is my twin sister and my best girlfriend:)

OMG you're doing STP again? Wow. That's dedication. Are you doing it officially or are you creating your own (better stocked) food and water stops? That last 20 miles was a bear.
