The last 3 days have been extremely emotional for me. When we got to Ragged Point on Tuesday everything impacted on me at once. I thought about being there last year before we had lost any of our gals. Tia, Gigi and I just sat for a while. We put flowers on Janny's spot and I could feel her with us, and when I got on Laurie's Softail to leave I got chills as she also loved that spot so much.

Riding over Big Sur, the beauty of it all was indescribable. Looking out over the ocean you feel so small and insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

Watching some of these women evolve over the past week has been amazing and makes the trip well worth it.

I can't believe that tomorrow is already our last night. Last Wednesday seems so long ago.

Today was a great ride, great roads over here in my neck of the woods! The weather held and beat the hell out of yesterday's wind. Looking forward to tomorrow.

Well...the last few days were a trip!!! I though I...ok, I forgot what I was gonna write becaus Jenny started me on another conversation...which is great. That brings me back to what I was gonna say...I love these chicks!!! They feel like I've known them forever!!! More people to add to my list that will be there for me no matter what. I guess that's why I continue to do this ride every year. Well, one of the reasons anyway. Meeting new sisters is fantastic, but also reminds me of the ones who aren't here. Big Sur was hard...really *?x0 hard. Brought back many memories of my girl Jan - "JJ". Brought me back to the 2005 ride, my first ride, where it all started. Only 2 years ago...and already we've had to say "see ya later" to one of our sisters...When I was first diagnosed, I NEVER thought death was an option! Not even a possibility! Yet, I am realizing it can and does happen. People do die from this SHIT!!! That's why I'm here...living my life each day. Sometimes you just gotta say F**k it!! Thanks again M and M, thans for allowing me to rememebr that!!!

Wow - The last 2 days have been great. Yesterday was cold and "very" windy. When we pulled over on the ridge to warm our bodies if felt like the bikes were going to blow over! It has felt like I was riding at home. The twisty turns up and down the canyon roads. I met some people from another ride - just another addition to our family! We had 2 survivors come out to see us at McGuire Harley-Davidson. How emotional. To be thanked for what we are doing. Rhonda great day!
