El Toro

Hello everyone

First, I would like to thank everyone for their donations/support/good vibes to our coast to coast ride. The fundraising was a success and the ride was fantastic. I enjoyed almost all of it, much like an ultra, and I’m really happy and relieved to be done, also much like an ultra.

We have one final ride planned for the 27th of Aug on which date we will ride 40-ish miles from the UCONN Health Center here in Farmington to Hammonassett beach so we can dip our wheels in the Atlantic (or close enough) and fulfill our coast to coast requirement. We will leave here at noon and plan on arriving at Hammo at 3pm where there will be food and drinks provided. Everyone is welcome; those who want to ride can do so for any distance they’d like and those who would prefer something more stable than two wheels can join us at the beach. We hope it’ll be a nice afternoon of hanging out by the water so if you can make it, we’d love to have you.

As for the route, we haven’t nailed it down yet but once we do I’ll put it up here.

Thanks again for all the help you’ve given us

Hey everyone!

I know it’s been a while since I’ve seen most of you but time seems to be flying by for me. This first year of medical school has been really fun, but fun in a retrospective way. It’s a ton of work and a lot to learn, but I really enjoy it and I’m amazed at how far I’ve come since I started. I still manage to run but of course not as much as I’d like, plus no group runs OR coffee after – just solo runs with lectures after (other things I miss: Ultra’s woo woo woo’s, Loopy’s giant smile, and Iggy’s quotes).
