Nope. Last year I didn't hear anything about it until a few days after Thanksgiving... I 'm thinking you just need to show up and see what happens.

I believe the "tour" is never formally announced, although there have been fliers for it in the past. I will be up at my parents house in Fullerton for Thanksgiving so I will be putting in a couple of laps on the loop on Friday, tour or no tour.

Favorite Trails: narrow
I spoke to her at the velo swap meet. She was selling off all her gear to help pay for her recovery/therapy (i'm guessing after the fact). I believe she has a foundation set up or a blog that you can check out and see how you can help.

I didn't know about her accident at the time, but looked up the name that was painted on her bike. Little did I realize that the girl in the wheelchair was once an elite racer. She's super cool and very positive.

If anything the video shows is that she's determine to beat her condition and that's just a beautiful thing to see.
