Hello!

I am sending this letter to all those who have sponsered me or
have told me they are interest in sponsoring me for the AIDS Ride.

It is now a month before I am off to Minneapolis to spend 6 days on my
bike.  I am excited, nervous, and a bit scared.  Those all seem like I am
right on track with what I should be feeling before starting such an
adventure.

I want to thank everyone who has sponsored me so far, I have been amazed
by the generosity of everyone.  $2738 from you will go to 6 AIDS
organizations!  Thank you.  If you still have not sponsored me there is
still time!  Just  talk to me and I can get you another pledge form if
needed or down load it from http://tiagirl.com/aidsride/pledge.html.

Training! Training! Training!  Well my bike and I have become great
friends  I have ridden her to Dexter, Chelsea, South Lyon, and all over
the great town of Ann Arbor.

I still have not named my bike!  If any of you have an idea of what I can
name her, I am open to ideas.  She is a royal blue, Bianchi Road Bike.   I
think if I am going to spend that much time with a travelling companion
she deserves a name.

I have also joined the Ann Arbor Rowing Club.  I figured it uses similer
muscles and keeps me from getting bored.  I have lost 30 pounds since I
started training, though I am still the voluptuous girl I have always
been.   I am just a buffer version of me.

I just wanted to touch base with you all.  If you have any questions,
cycling  advice, or words of encouragement I would love to hear them.

Hope this finds all of you well.

Take Care,
Tia
