June 7, 2009 was a very momentous day for me for two reasons:
(1) In 1992 when I organized the fifth Annual Little Red Riding Hood all womens ride for Bonneville Bicycle Touring Club, we were thrilled to have 65 women show up for the metric century. This year 2,600 women showed up for the 21st Annual version which was much more elaborate than the 1992 version! Wow! what a great experience!
(2) This year three generations of women in my family participated in the event. My grand daughter Emma (age 10), her mother and my daughter Kimberly (age 40) and I (age 64) rode together for 40 miles. We dressed in matching LLRH jerseys which made it even more fun for us. For Emma this was her first ride on her new 24-inch Fuji road bike. For Kim it was her first ride on her new Serotta Legend Ti road bike. For me~well, I just rode my old Bike Friday which is my sherpa for my cross country tour this summer.
What a joy it is to see my children and grand children developing a healthy addiction to cycling!

Go Lucy & Barbara!
Hi Lucy & Barbara!
Everyone at the World Peace Gatherings asks about you. I tell them to check out your blog through our web site. Also some want to send goodies, one person gave me some salve to send to you. Is there a town coming up (a week out) we can send this to? Or some way to get something to you?
Keep spreading peace and love!
