About us

About us.....

The three of us fell in love with cycling a year ago, as we rode together our friendships blossomed into a passion.   We have so many stories to tell about things we learned along this journey, not only things about cycling, but things about each other.   We encourage each other at just the right times when we want to give up and toss in the towel.

Beth (age 55) is a high school Home ec/Horticulture teacher at Amboy High School, hoping to retire at the end of next year after her 33rd year of teaching.   Her husband Tony is our incredible chef for the ride.  She started a fitness journey five years ago and hasn't stopped since, through this journey she has shed 35 pounds, 30 inches and changed the way she looks at nutrition.   This amazing journey of transformation has led her down an astonishing path of discovery not only about herself, but about her relationship with God, and the many friends He has placed along the way to show Himself off to her.

Lisa (age 49). Lisa fell in love with Jeff who had been riding RAGBRAI for a few years.  When he asked if she liked to ride bikes, she said yes (thinking he meant bike paths etc...).  She quickly learned that he meant LOTS of riding and she joined him in the adventure of cycling and RAGBRAI.  This is Lisa's 6th time. She rode for 3 years, and then had to take a year off because of chemo/breast cancer.  That year she was the driver.  This will be her 3rd year post cancer.  She credits the training from previous years to her successful fight during cancer (of course the real credit goes to the Lord).  She loves meeting all of the people on the ride and enjoys the opportunity to see how the Lord shows up on the journey. Lisa is an elementary/reading teacher.  She loves sharing her adventures with her students and inspiring them to dream big!   \
